DOCTOR RUBY,

Defendants.
MEMORANDUM OPINION

Willie Unique Davis, a former Virginia inmate proceeding pro se and informa pauperis,

filed this 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action.' Davis contends that Defendants Dr. Ruby, Dr. Abassi, and
Ms. Charles denied him adequate medical care during his incarceration in the Riverside Regional

Jail ("RRJ"). The matter is before the Court on the Motions to Dismiss filed by Defendants

Ruby and Charles (ECF No. 29) and Defendant Abassi (ECF No. 33).

Despite sending

appropriate Roseboro^ notice with the Motions to Dismiss, Davis has not responded. For the
reasons stated below, the Court will GRANT Defendants' Motions to Dismiss.

' The statute provides, in pertinent part:
Every person who, under color of any statute ... of any State ... subjects,
or causes to be subjected, any citizen of the United States or other person v^thin
the jurisdiction thereof to the deprivation of any rights, privileges, or immunities
secured by the Constitution and laws, shall be liable to the party injured in an
action at law....

42 U.S.C. § 1983.
