IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

WESTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS

HOT SPRINGS DIVISION

VANDY STOVALL PLAINTIFF

v. Case No. 6:23-cv-6115

JASON A BROTHERTON DEFENDANT

ORDER

Before the Court is a Report and Recommendation (“R&R”) issued by the Honorable Mark 

E. Ford, United States Magistrate Judge for the Western District of Arkansas. ECF No. 21. Judge 

Ford recommends that Defendant’s Motion to Dismiss (ECF No. 15) be granted in part and denied 

in part. Specifically, Judge Ford recommends that Plaintiff’s official capacity claim, claim for 

compensatory damages, and request for relief in the form of parole be dismissed. Judge Ford 

recommends that Defendant’s motion be denied in all other respects. 

No party has objected to the R&R, and the time to do so has passed. See 28 U.S.C. § 

636(b)(1). Upon review, finding no clear error on the face of the record and that Judge Ford’s 

reasoning is sound, the Court adopts the R&R (ECF No. 21) in toto. Defendant’s Motion to 

Dismiss (ECF No. 15) hereby is GRANTED IN PART and DENIED IN PART. Plaintiff’s 

official capacity claim, claim for compensatory damages, and request for relief in the form of 

parole are DISMISSED. Defendant’s motion is denied in all other respects. 

IT IS SO ORDERED, this 3rd day of January, 2025.
