Story v. Cashion et al Doc. 20 IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS PINE BLUFF DIVISION KENDRICK STORY ADC #109934 v. PLAINTIFF No. 5:13-cv-286-DPM-JJV MARK CASHION, Warden, Randall L. Williams Unit; and EMMA WATERS, Kitchen Supervisor, Randall L. Williams Unit DEFENDANTS ORDER Opposed recommendation, NQ 15, adopted as modified. FED. R. CIV. P. 72(b)(3). Story's claim against Cashion is barred by res judicata because the Court made a final decision on the merits of this same cause of action in Story v. Hobbs, 5:13-cv-72-BSM-JTR. Story's claim against Waters fails too. The Court takes his allegations as the truth: Brother Miller misunderstood what Story meant when he said that he had no problem with the other inmate; Story clarified to Waters that the other inmate indeed had a problem with him; Waters then told Story to leave it alone or go to the barracks, and left the area. Taken together, these assumed circumstances amount at most to unactionable negligence by Waters, not deliberate indifference. Pagels v. Morrison, 335 F.3d 736, 740 (8th Cir. 2003). Story has failed again to state a Dockets.Justia.com claim against Waters. So Ordered. D.P. Marshall Jr. United States District Judge -2-
