IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS

NORTHERN DIVISION

THEOTIS GOODWIN HILDEBRAND

ADC #102685 PLAINTIFF

v. Case No. 1:19-cv-00015 KGB-JTR

G. HOLLAD, Mail Room Clerk,

Grimes Unit, ADC; WENDY KELLY, 

Director, Arkansas Department of Correction;

and EARL, Warden, Grimes Unit, ADC DEFENDANTS

ORDER

The Court has reviewed the Recommended Disposition submitted by United States 

Magistrate Judge J. Thomas Ray (Dkt. No. 12). Plaintiff Theotis Goodwin Hildebrand filed an 

objection (Dkt. No. 14). After careful consideration of the Recommended Disposition, Mr. 

Hildebrand’s objection, and a de novo review of the record, the Court concludes that the 

Recommended Disposition should be, and hereby is, approved and adopted in its entirety as this 

Court’s findings (Dkt. No. 18). Mr. Hildebrand’s objection fails to raise any claims that were not 

already stated in his complaint or amended complaint (Dkt. Nos. 2, 5). Judge Ray’s Recommended 

Disposition addresses those claims, and this Court adopts that analysis. Accordingly, the Court 

dismisses without prejudice Mr. Hildebrand’s complaint and amended complaint (Id.). This 

dismissal counts as a “strike,” pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g). The Court certifies, pursuant to 

28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3), that an in forma pauperis appeal from this Order would not be taken in 

good faith. 

It is so ordered this 11th day of February, 2020.
