THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS

NORTHERN DIVISION

JOHN J. BEARD, ADC #163453 PLAINTIFF

v. Case No. 1:18-cv-00077-KGB

KEITH DAY, Major, North Central Unit, ADC, et al. DEFENDANTS

ORDER

Before the Court is the Recommended Disposition submitted by United States Magistrate 

Judge J. Thomas Ray (Dkt. No. 8). In his Recommended Disposition, Judge Ray recommends that 

plaintiff John J. Beard’s complaint and amended complaint be dismissed without prejudice. No 

objections have been filed, and the deadline for filing objections has since passed. After careful 

consideration, the Court finds no reason to alter or reject Judge Ray’s recommendations.

Therefore, the Court adopts the Recommended Disposition in its entirety as this Court’s 

findings of fact and conclusions of law (Dkt. No. 8). The Court dismisses without prejudice Mr. 

Beard’s complaint and amended complaint. Dismissal of this action constitutes a “strike” within 

the meaning of 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g). Finally, the Court certifies, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 

1915(a)(3), that an in forma pauperis appeal from the Order and Judgment entered in this case 

would not be taken in good faith.

It is so ordered this 24th day of January, 2020.
