IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS 

CENTRAL DIVISION 

THOMAS DORSEY BAILEY, III PLAINTIFF 

ADC #148850 

V. 4:19CV00906-LPR-JTK 

KANESHA N. GRANDY DEFENDANT 

ORDER 

The Court has received proposed findings and recommendations from United States 

Magistrate Judge Jerome T. Kearney. Doc. 3. There have been no objections. After a review 

of those proposed findings and recommendations, the Court adopts them in their entirety. 1 

Accordingly, it is ORDERED that: 

1. Plaintiff’s Complaint against Defendant is DISMISSED with prejudice as barred 

by res judicata and for failure to state a claim. 

2. Dismissal of this action constitutes a “strike” within the meaning of the Prison 

Litigation Reform Act (PLRA), 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g). 

3. The Court certifies that an in forma pauperis appeal from an Order and Judgment 

dismissing this action would not be taken in good faith, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3). 

An appropriate Judgment shall accompany this Order.

 

1 To the extent Judge Kearney’s previous decision and present decision suggest that verbal threats or sexual 

harassment without physical contact could never rise to the level of a constitutional violation, I do not believe this 

case requires the Court to address the breadth of those principles. It is enough to say that the allegations pled in this 

case would not rise to the level of a constitutional violation, even if proven. Plus, res judicata bars the claims.
