IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS

EASTERN DIVISION

TONY A. HICKMAN PLAINTIFF

VS. Case No. 2:14-cv-00131 KGB/PSH

BRETT BUTLER, et al. DEFENDANTS

ORDER

 The Court has reviewed the Proposed Findings and Recommendations 

(“Recommendations”) submitted by United States Magistrate Judge H. David Young (Dkt. No. 

12) and the timely objections filed by plaintiff Tony Hickman (Dkt. No. 14). After careful 

consideration of the Recommendations and Mr. Hickman’s objections, as well as a de novo

review of the record, the Court approves and adopts the Recommendations in their entirety as 

this Court’s findings in all respects. Therefore, the Court grants defendant Dr. Brett Butler’s 

motion to dismiss and dismisses with prejudice Mr. Hickman’s claims against Dr. Butler.

At the time the Recommendations were submitted, the second defendant now identified 

as Jennifer Petty had not been served with Mr. Hickman’s complaint. Ms. Petty has now been 

served, and she has filed an answer (Dkt. Nos. 17, 19). Because the Recommendations did not 

directly address arguments advanced by Ms. Petty, Mr. Hickman’s claims against Ms. Petty 

remain pending.

SO ORDERED this 12th day of August, 2015.
