IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS 

CENTRAL DIVISION 

KENNETH L. WRIGHT, 

ADC #088454D PLAINTIFF 

v. 4:20-cv-00215-JM-JJV 

CARRIE WILLIAMS, 

Director, Arkansas Community Correction; and 

RENU LIFE CENTER DEFENDANTS 

ORDER 

The Court has reviewed the Recommendation submitted by United States Magistrate Judge 

Joe J. Volpe and Plaintiff’s objections. After conducting a de novo review, this Court adopts the 

Recommendation in its entirety as its findings in all respects. Plaintiff offers to amend his 

Complaint to make his claims clearer. However, an amendment would be futile because Plaintiff 

does not allege he was denied a fundamental right or discriminated against based on a suspect 

classification. Designation as a level 3 or 4 sex offender is not a suspect classification for purposes 

of equal protection under the Fourteenth Amendment. 

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that: 

1. The Complaint (Doc. No. 2) is DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE for failure 

to state a claim upon which relief may be granted. 

2. Dismissal of this action is a “strike” for purposes of 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g). 

3. It is certified, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. ' 1915(a)(3), that an in forma pauperis appeal 

from this Order and the accompanying Judgment would not be taken in good faith. 

Dated this 26th day of March 2020.
