  3. Rhoden v. Ridgeland Corr. Inst.

    C.A. No. 4:17-1044-HMH-TER (D.S.C. Jun. 19, 2017)

    RCI is not a proper person subject to suit under § 1983 and Rhoden has failed to identify any specific individuals in support of his claim. Harden v, Green, No. 01-6393, 2001 WL 1464468, at *4 (4th Cir. Nov. 19, 2001) (per curiam); Garvin v. Owen, C.A. No. 2:09-202-HMH-RSC, 2009 WL 653007, at *4 (D.S.C. Mar. 12, 2009) (unpublished). As a result, Rhoden's objection is without merit.
