IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS 

EASTERN DIVISION 

TYRONE ELLIS 

ADC #149250 

v. No. 2:16-cv-42-DPM 

PLAINTIFF 

PATRICK DRUMMOND, APN, 

East Arkansas Regional Unit DEFENDANT 

ORDER 

On de nova review, the Court adopts Magistrate Judge Volpe's 

recommendation as supplemented, Ng 41, and overrules Ellis' s objection, 

Ng 42. FED. R. Crv. P. 72(b)(3). Someone dropped the ball, perhaps the LPN 

or perhaps the person responsible for making sure referred inmates get seen 

promptly by a doctor or an APN. But Ellis hasn't sued the person responsible 

for follow through, and thus can't make a case of deliberate indifference 

(subjective or objective) in the constitutional sense. Drummond's motion for 

summary judgment, Ng 36, is granted. Ellis's complaint will be dismissed 

with prejudice. 

So Ordered.
