MICHAEL CLINTON ELEOPOULOS PLAINTIFF v. LEE COUNTY TUPELO ADULT JAIL, ET AL. DEFENDANTS
ORDER REQUIRING PLAINTIFF TO NAME VALID DEFENDANT WITHIN 21 DAYS
DAVID A. SANDERS UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
The plaintiff in this case has named only the “Lee Co Tupelo Adult Jail” and “Medical Dept” as defendants in this case; however, neither of these entities is a proper defendant in a case proceeding under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. As such, the plaintiff must name at least one valid defendant and explain how that defendant participated in the events giving rise to this suit. The deadline for identifying a valid defendant to the court is 21 days from the date of this order. Failure to comply with this order will result in the dismissal of this case without prejudice under Fed.R.Civ.P. 41(b) for failure to prosecute and failure to comply with an order of the court.
SO ORDERED, this, the 15th day of July, 2021.
