August 1, 2011


REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION


Having broken his tooth while eating Effingham County Jail food, inmate Randall Wayne Turner filed this 42 U.S.C. § 1983 case against the jail, doc. 1, seeking "proper medical treatment" for that plus other ailments. Id. at 5. In screening his case under 28 U.S.C. § 1915A, the Court noted that he sued only the Effingham County Jail, which is not an entity subject to suit under § 1983. Doc. 15.

Nevertheless, the Court gave Turner 30 days to amend his Complaint to name a party or parties capable of suit. Id. at 2-3. He has failed to file anything further. Accordingly, his case should be DISMISSED.

SO REPORTED AND RECOMMENDED.
