Stallings v. Gibson et al Doc. 14 IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS CENTRAL DIVISION DENARIUS M STALLINGS ADC #155066 v. PLAINTIFF CASE NO. 4:22-CV-00579-BSM GIBSON, et al. DEFENDANTS ORDER This is a very difficult case to dismiss because plaintiff Denarius M. Stallings alleges that he was attacked by another inmate while he was in handcuffs and being escorted by prison officials. Further complicating this is that Stallings alleges that the prison officials knew the assailant was prone to this type of violence because the assailant had a history of attacking other inmates and prison officials. Dismissal, however, is appropriate, notwithstanding Stallings’s allegations and his objections [Doc. No. 13]to Magistrate Judge Jerome T. Kearney’s proposed findings and recommendations [Doc. No. 12]. Consequently, Judge Kearney’s recommended dismissal is adopted and Stallings’ claims [Doc. No. 11] are dismissed without prejudice. It is recommended that this dismissal count as a “strike” for purposes of 28 U.S.C. section 1915(g). An in forma pauperis appear of this order and corresponding judgment would not be taken in good faith. IT IS SO ORDERED this 23rd day of November, 2022. ________________________________ UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE Dockets.Justia.com
