PER CURIAM.

     Tony Day appeals after the District Court1 granted the defendants’ motions for
judgment on the pleadings in Day’s 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action related to medical care

      1
       The Honorable Karen E. Schreier, United States District Judge for the District
of South Dakota.
he received at a county jail. After de novo review, we conclude that the motions were
properly granted. See Greenman v. Jessen, 
787 F.3d 882
, 887 (8th Cir. 2015)
(standard of review); see also Bd. of the Cty. Comm’rs v. Brown, 
520 U.S. 397
,
403–04 (1997) (discussing municipal liability under § 1983); Owens v. Scott Cty.
Jail, 
328 F.3d 1026
, 1027 (8th Cir. 2003) (per curiam) (noting that “county jails are
not legal entities amenable to suit”); Smith v. Insley’s Inc., 
499 F.3d 875
, 880 (8th
Cir. 2007) (discussing liability of corporations under § 1983). We affirm the
judgment.
