SHERIFF, et al.,
Defendants.
ORDER
This is a pro se prisoner civil rights action. It is before the Court on the Report
and Recommendation [Doc. 7] of the Magistrate Judge recommending dismissing the
action for failure to state a claim. The Plaintiff’s Objections are merely abstract
principles of Section 1983 law. For the reasons set forth in the thorough and wellreasoned Report and Recommendation, the Plaintiff does not have a claim against the
Sheriff of Cobb County for the conditions that he complains of at the Cobb County
Jail.
The Court approves and adopts the Report and Recommendation as the
judgment of the Court. This action is DISMISSED. The Plaintiff’s Motion for Leave
to File Amended Complaint [Doc. 10] is DENIED. The Plaintiff may not simply add

individual Defendants to the Complaint without explaining how they are personally
responsible for the conditions which he complains about.
SO ORDERED, this 11 day of April, 2017.
