ORDER

Before the Court is the Report and Recommendation filed September 27, 2023, by the 

Honorable Barry A. Bryant, United States Magistrate Judge for the Western District of Arkansas. 

ECF No. 10. Judge Bryant recommends that certain claims in this case be dismissed and that other 

claims proceed for further litigation. No party has filed objections to the Report and 

Recommendation, and the time to object has passed. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1). Therefore, the 

Court adopts the Report and Recommendation (ECF No. 10) in toto. 

Accordingly, the Court findsthat Plaintiff’s individual capacity and official capacity claims

related to his criminal conviction, sentence, and incarceration are DISMISSED WITHOUT 

PREJUDICE pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915A(b)(1) for failure to state a clam upon which relief 

may be granted. The Court further finds that Plaintiff’s individual claims and official capacity 

claims against Judge Talley are DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 

§ 1915A(b)(2) because Judge Talley is immune from suit.

1

Based on Plaintiff’s allegations in Claim Four of the Complaint (ECF No. 1), the Clerk is directed to add John Doe 

EMT and John Doe ERT as Defendants in this case.
