IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS 

PINE BLUFF DIVISION 

JAMES C. FUDGE, 

ADC #78875 PLAINTIFF 

v. Case No. 5:14-cv-00120-KGB/JTK 

M. OLSON, et al. DEFENDANTS 

ORDER 

 Before the Court are several Proposed Findings and Recommendations from United 

States Magistrate Judge Jerome T. Kearney. The Court will address each in turn. 

As an initial matter, before the Court are the Proposed Findings and Recommendations 

from Magistrate Judge Kearney screening plaintiff James C. Fudge’s complaint and amended 

complaint (Dkt. No. 6). Mr. Fudge filed objections (Dkt. No. 9). After a review of the Proposed 

Findings and Recommendations and objections, as well as a de novo review of the record, the 

Court adopts the Proposed Findings and Recommendations in their entirety (Dkt. No. 6). 

Accordingly, it is therefore ordered that defendants McBride, Meinzer, T. Spencer, J. Andrews, 

Foote, R. Williams, Watts, Singleton, Johnson, Moses Jackson, Grant Harris, J. Chaney, Stephen 

P. Watson, Keith Waddle, Nelson, and Gilbert are dismissed without prejudice as defendants 

from this action. The Court dismisses without prejudice all claims except Mr. Fudge’s toenail 

medical claim. 

 The Court also has received Proposed Findings and Recommendations from Magistrate 

Judge Kearney recommending denial of Mr. Fudge’s motion for preliminary injunction (Dkt. 

Nos. 10, 29). There have been no objections filed to this recommendation, and the time for filing 

objections has passed. After careful review, the Court adopts the Proposed Findings and

Recommendations in their entirety (Dkt. No. 29). The Court denies Mr. Fudge’s motion for 

preliminary injunction (Dkt. No. 10). 

 In addition, the Court has received the Proposed Findings and Recommendations from 

Magistrate Judge Kearney which recommend dismissing defendant M. Olson for failure to obtain 

service (Dkt. No. 32). There have been no objections filed to this recommendation, and the time 

for filing objections has passed. After careful review, the Court adopts the Proposed Findings 

and Recommendations in their entirety (Dkt. No. 32). Defendant Olson is dismissed without 

prejudice as a defendant from this action. 

 It is, therefore, ordered that: 

 1. Defendants McBride, Meinzer, T. Spencer, J. Andrews, Foote, R. Williams, 

Watts, Singleton, Johnson, Moses Jackson, Grant Harris, J. Chaney, Stephen P. Watson, Keith 

Waddle, Nelson, and Gilbert are dismissed without prejudice as defendants from this action. 

 2 All claims except Mr. Fudge’s toenail medical claim are dismissed without 

prejudice. 

 3. Mr. Fudge’s motion for preliminary injunction is denied (Dkt. No. 10). 

 4. Defendant M. Olson is dismissed without prejudice as a defendant from this 

action. 

SO ORDERED this 18th day of February, 2015.
