IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS

WESTERN DIVISION

JOHN CHAVIS, PLAINTIFF

ADC #141259

v. Case No. 4:15-cv-00139-KGB-JTK

JONES, et al. DEFENDANTS

ORDER

The Court has received the Proposed Findings and Recommendations from United States

Magistrate Judge Jerome T. Kearney (Dkt. No. 14). After a review of the Proposed Findings and

Recommendations, and the timely objections thereto (Dkt. No. 16), as well as a de novo review of

the record, the Court adopts them in their entirety. Accordingly, it is therefore ordered that:

1. Plaintiff’s amended complaint against defendants Franks, Lindsey Paxton, Dan

Roberts, Earl Phillips, and the Arkansas Department of Correction is dismissed with prejudice for

failure to state a claim upon which relief may be granted (Dkt. No. 12).

2. Defendant Jones is dismissed without prejudice.

3. This dismissal is considered a “strike” within the meaning of the Prison Litigation

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

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

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

An appropriate Judgment shall accompany this Order.
