Dennis G. Nash, Jr. v. Americans with Disabilities, et al.

Summary

The United States District Court for the Middle District of Georgia dismissed pro se plaintiff Dennis G. Nash, Jr.’s amended complaint under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B). The court held that the complaint failed to state a claim because it did not make factual allegations against, or link claims to, any named defendant, and the Americans with Disabilities Act is a federal law rather than a suable entity. The order was entered without prejudice or prejudice designation stated in the provided text.

Holdings

Questions Presented

2. Whether the amended complaint was subject to dismissal under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B) for failure to state a claim.
