OPINION
Pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983, plaintiff, an inmate
at the Dothan City Jail, filed this lawsuit challenging
the alleged denial of his requests for medical care by
jail staff.
This cause is before the court on the
recommendation of the United States Magistrate Judge
that the plaintiff’s claims against defendant Dothan
City Jail be dismissed from the complaint as frivolous.
There are no objections to the recommendation; however,
following issuance of the recommendation, the plaintiff
filed
a
motion
to
amend
the
complaint
in
which
he
omitted defendant Dothan City Jail from the caption of
the
case,
set
forth
allegations
against
several
additional individual defendants, and did not set forth
any
allegations
independent
and
against
de
novo
the
jail
review
of
itself.
the
After
record,
an
this
court is of the opinion that the recommendation should
be withdrawn as moot, the motion to amend should be
construed, in part, as a notice of voluntary dismissal,
and defendant Dothan City Jail should be dismissed as a
defendant pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a)(1) and (2).
An appropriate judgment will be entered.
DONE, this the 16th day of November, 2015.
