Outcome
Plaintiff's complaint was dismissed for failure to state a plausible claim under 28 U.S.C. § 1915A because the county jail is not a person subject to suit under § 1983, and even if construed against Cuyahoga County, plaintiff failed to allege a policy or custom causing the alleged violation.
