October 27, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 15 FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATION OF THE UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE: Manning's claims against the Calloway and Monroe County Sheriffs Office should be DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE because venue is improperly laid in this district, see 28 U.S.C. 1406(a), and his remaining claims should be summarily DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE as frivolous and for failure to state a claim, see 28 U.S.C. 1915(e) (2)(B) and 28 U.S.C. 1915A(b).
