IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS

PINE BLUFF DIVISION

STACEY D. FRANKLIN PLAINTIFF

ADC # 153268

v. Case No. 5:18-cv-00160-KGB

SUTTON, Corporal,

Barbara Ester Unit, et al., DEFENDANTS

ORDER

Before the Court are two Proposed Findings and Recommendations submitted by United 

States Magistrate Judge Joe J. Volpe (Dkt. Nos. 5, 18). No objections have been filed, and the 

time for filing objections has passed. After careful consideration, the Court concludes that the two 

Proposed Findings and Recommendations should be, and hereby are, approved and adopted in 

their entirety as this Court’s findings in all respects (Id.). 

Accordingly, the Court grants Ms. Carter’s motion to dismiss (Dkt. No. 15). Furthermore, 

the Court dismisses without prejudice plaintiff Stacey D. Franklin’s claims against defendants 

Robert Edwards, Rory Griffin, and Mary Carter. The Court dismisses without prejudice Mr. 

Edwards, Mr. Griffin, and Ms. Carter as defendants from this case. Only Mr. Franklin’s failure to 

protect claim against defendant Sutton remains in this case (Dkt. Nos. 5, 18). Finally, the Court 

certifies that an in forma pauperis appeal from this Order dismissing these claims would not be 

taken in good faith. 28 U.S.C. §1915(a)(3). 

It is so ordered, this the 25th day of March, 2019.
