ORDER ON MOTION

On January 3, 2007, the plaintiff filed a motion for leave to file an amended complaint (Court

Doc. No. 27). However, the plaintiff merely seeks to name Lamar Rogers, Santina Jenkins and the

Alabama Department of Corrections as defendants. The court therefore construes this document as

a motion for leave to amend the complaint. 

A review of the file in this case demonstrates that Lamar Rogers and Santina Jenkins are

presently defendants in this case of action. Additionally, the Alabama Department of Corrections

[“ADOC”] is absolutely immune from suit, Papasan v. Allain, 478 U.S. 265 (1986), and based on

the pleadings filed by the plaintiff, the ADOC had relinquished custody of the plaintiff to

Montgomery County officials prior to the incident which forms the basis for the instant complaint.

In light of the foregoing, it is 

ORDERED that the motion for leave to amend be and is hereby DENIED. 

Done this 9th day of January, 2007.
