Leif Jamell-Keon Lambert v. Henrico Regional Jail East, et al.
Trial Court Opinion
IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF VIRGINIA Richmond Division LEIF JAMELL-KEON LAMBERT, Plaintiff, v. Civil Action No. 3:25cv400 HENRICO REGIONAL JAIL EAST, et al., Defendants.
MEMORANDUM OPINION Plaintiff, a Virginia inmate proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis, filed this
42 U.S.C. § 1983action. In order to state a viable claim under
42 U.S.C. § 1983, a plaintiff must allege that a person acting under color of state law deprived him or her of a constitutional right or of a right conferred by a law of the United States. See Dowe v. Total Action Against Poverty in Roanoke Valley,
145 F.3d 653, 658(4th Cir. 1998) (citing
42 U.S.C. § 1983). In his current Complaint, Plaintiff does not identify the constitutional right that was violated by the defendants’ conduct. Plaintiff’s current allegations also fail to provide each defendant with fair notice of the facts and legal basis upon which his or her liability rests. See Bell Atl. Corp. v. Twombly, U.S. 544, 555 (2007) (quoting Conley v. Gibson,
355 U.S. 41, 47(1957)). Accordingly, by Memorandum Order entered on September 18, 2025 (ECF No. 12), the Court directed Plaintiff to submit a particularized complaint within thirty (30) days of the date of entry thereof. The Court warned Plaintiff that the failure to submit a particularized complaint would result in the dismissal of the action.
More than thirty (30) days have elapsed since the entry of the September 18, 2025 Memorandum Order. Plaintiff failed to submit a particularized complaint or otherwise respond to the September 18, 2025 Memorandum Order. Accordingly, the action will be DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE. An appropriate Final Order will accompany this Memorandum Opinion.
