PLAINTIFF Case No. 5:18-cv-00080-KGB/JJV WENDY KELLEY, Director of the Arkansas Department of Correction; et al. DEFENDANTS ORDER The Court has received the Proposed Findings and Recommendations submitted by United States Magistrate Judge Joe J. Volpe (Dkt. No. 8). No objections have been filed, and the time to file an objection has passed. After careful consideration, the Court concludes that the Proposed Findings and Recommendations should be, and hereby are, approved and adopted in their entirety as this Court’s findings in all respects (Dkt. No. 8). It is, therefore, ordered that: 1. Plaintiff Quincy Taylor is allowed to proceed on his failure to protect claims against defendants Shabazz, McConnell, James Gibson, Scott Taylor, Washington, and Does. 1 2. All other claims are dismissed without prejudice from this action. 3. Defendants Wendy Kelley, Raymond Naylor, Keith Waddle, James Byers, and Linsey are dismissed without prejudice from this action. 1 Like Judge Volpe, this Court conditions Mr. Taylor’s ability to proceed against the Doe defendants on his stating the full name and service address of any Doe defendant so that the Doe defendant may be served in the time allowed under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 4(m). If Mr. Taylor fails to meet that condition, his claims against the Doe defendants may be dismissed without prejudice. Dockets.Justia.com 4. The Court certifies, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3), that an in forma pauperis appeal from this Order adopting the Proposed Findings and Recommendations would not be taken in good faith. So ordered this 23rd day of July, 2018. _____________________________________ Kristine G. Baker United States District Judge 2
