Hickman v. Butler et al Doc. 21 IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS EASTERN DIVISION TONY A. HICKMAN VS. PLAINTIFF Case No. 2:14-cv-00131 KGB/PSH BRETT BUTLER, et al. DEFENDANTS ORDER The Court has reviewed the Proposed Findings and Recommendations (“Recommendations”) submitted by United States Magistrate Judge H. David Young (Dkt. No. 12) and the timely objections filed by plaintiff Tony Hickman (Dkt. No. 14). After careful consideration of the Recommendations and Mr. Hickman’s objections, as well as a de novo review of the record, the Court approves and adopts the Recommendations in their entirety as this Court’s findings in all respects. Therefore, the Court grants defendant Dr. Brett Butler’s motion to dismiss and dismisses with prejudice Mr. Hickman’s claims against Dr. Butler. At the time the Recommendations were submitted, the second defendant now identified as Jennifer Petty had not been served with Mr. Hickman’s complaint. Ms. Petty has now been served, and she has filed an answer (Dkt. Nos. 17, 19). Because the Recommendations did not directly address arguments advanced by Ms. Petty, Mr. Hickman’s claims against Ms. Petty remain pending. SO ORDERED this 12th day of August, 2015. _______________________________ Kristine G. Baker United States District Judge Dockets.Justia.com
