CIVIL ACTION NO. 12-0224-JJB-DLD
11-26-2012
GREGORY BAILEY (#9000005008) v. E.B.R. PARISH PRISON, ET AL.
ORDER
This matter comes before the Court on the plaintiff's Motion for Default Judgment, rec.doc.no. 37, pursuant to which he seeks to obtain a default judgment against defendants Vincent Leggio and the East Baton Rouge Parish Prison. Considering, however, that defendant Leggio has not been served with process and has not appeared in this proceeding, and that the defendant Parish Prison is not an entity subject to suit in this Court, see, e.g., Jones v. St. Tammany Parish Jail, 4 F.Supp.2d 606 (E.D. La. 1998) (holding that a parish jail, which is "not an entity, but a building", is not subject to suit in federal court),
IT IS ORDERED that the plaintiffs Motion for Default Judgment, rec.doc.no. 37, be and it is hereby DENIED.
Baton Rouge, Louisiana, this 26 day of November, 2012.
