IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS

EASTERN DIVISION

CHRISTOPHER DEATON, 

ADC #143472 PLAINTIFF

Case No. 2:13-cv-00136-KGB/JTK

LARRY MAY, et al. DEFENDANTS

ORDER

The Court has received Proposed Findings and Recommendations submitted by United 

States Magistrate Judge Jerome T. Kearney (Dkt. No. 126). Plaintiff Christopher Deaton filed 

two motions for extension of time to file objections to the Proposed Findings and 

Recommendations (Dkt. Nos. 130, 133). Mr. Deaton then filed an objection (Dkt. No. 134). The 

Court grants both of Mr. Deaton’s motions for extension of time to file objections (Dkt. Nos. 

130, 133), and the Court considers Mr. Deaton’s objections timely filed (Dkt. No. 134). After 

careful review of the Proposed Findings and Recommendations, the objections, and a de novo

review of the record, the Court concludes that the Proposed Findings and Recommendations 

should be, and hereby are, approved and adopted in their entirety as this Court’s findings in all 

respects.

It is, therefore, ordered that:

1. the Court grants defendants’ motion to dismiss (Dkt. No. 108), and Mr. Deaton’s 

Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act (“RLUIPA”), 42 U.S.C. § 

2000cc-1, claim is hereby dismissed.

2. the Court grants defendants’ motion for summary judgment (Dkt. No. 113).

3. the Court dismisses without prejudice Mr. Deaton’s claims against defendant 

Jackson for Mr. Deaton’s failure to exhaust his administrative remedies prior to 

filing his claim against defendant Jackson.

4. the Court dismisses with prejudice Mr. Deaton’s claims against all other 

defendants. 

5. All other pending motions are denied as moot.

SO ORDERED this 4th day of February, 2016.
