IN THE UNITED ST ATES DISTRICT COURT 

EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS 

PINE BLUFF DIVISION 

JAMES McALPHIN 

ADC #88328 PLAINTIFF 

v. No. 5:19-cv-361-DPM-BD 

B. McCONNELL, Sgt., Varner Supermax, 

ADC; JOHNSON, Lieutenant, Varner 

Supermax, ADC; and ARKANSAS 

DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTION 

ORDER 

DEFENDANTS 

On de novo review, the Court adopts the partial recommendation, 

NQ 6, as modified and partly sustains McAlphin' s objections, NQ 9. FED. 

R. CIV. P. 72(b)(3). McAlphin's claims against the Department are 

dismissed with prejudice. 

The modification: read liberally, McAlphin' s complaint alleges an 

ongoing danger because of his repeated placement near an enemy. 

Ashley v. Dilworth, 147 F.3d 715, 717 (8th Cir. 1998); see also Martin v. 

Shelton, 319 F.3d 1048, 1050 (8th Cir. 2003). His claims about the alleged 

failure to protect him from the 2017 attack therefore stay in for now. 

The Court agrees, though, that McAlphin hasn't shown any ongoing 

danger related to his medical care after the 2017 attack. Those claims 

are therefore dismissed without prejudice; if McAlphin wants to

pursue that slice of his case, then he must pay the $400 filing and 

administrative fees. 

So Ordered.
