UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS

JONESBORO DIVISION

JOSEPH ANTHONY JONES,

# 656351 PLAINTIFF

v. CASE NO. 3:09cv00214 BSM/JJV

MICHAEL CLARK, Treatment Coordinator, Osceola

Department of Community Correction, et al. DEFENDANTS

ORDER

The court has reviewed the proposed findings and recommended disposition submitted

by United States Magistrate Judge Joe J. Volpe. No objections have been filed. After careful

consideration, it is concluded that the proposed findings and recommended disposition

should be, and hereby are, approved and adopted in their entirety as this court's findings in

all respects. 

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that this action is DISMISSED, all pending motions

are denied as moot, and that dismissal of this action shall count as a “strike” for purposes of

28 U.S.C. § 1915(g). Title 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g) provides that 

In no event shall a prisoner bring a civil action or appeal a judgment in a civil

action under this section if the prisoner has, on 3 or more prior occasions,

while incarcerated or detained in any facility, brought an action or appeal in

a court of the United States that was dismissed on the grounds that it is

frivolous, malicious, or fails to state a claim upon which relief may be granted

. . . 

Plaintiff’s claims against defendants Flores, Silliman, Hunt, and Kesraj, which should have

been brought in United States District Court for the Western District of Arkansas, are

dismissed without prejudice to plaintiff’s right to re-file those claims in a new case in the

proper court. The remainder of plaintiff’s claims are dismissed with prejudice.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the court certifies, pursuant to 28 U.S.C.

§ 1915(a)(3), that an in forma pauperis appeal from any order adopting these

recommendations would not be taken in good faith. 

DATED this 15th day of January, 2010.
