IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS 

CENTRAL DIVISION 

LYNNEL ANTWAN WATKINS PLAINTIFF 

 

 

V. NO. 4:23-cv-00013-JM-ERE 

GILLIAM, et al. DEFENDANTS 

ORDER 

 The Court has received a Recommendation from Magistrate Judge Edie R. Ervin. After 

careful review of the Recommendation, Mr. Watkin’s timely objections, as well as a de novo 

review of the record, the Court concludes that the Recommendation should be, and hereby is, 

approved and adopted as this Court’s findings in all respects. 

Mr. Watkins’ claims against the Doe Defendant are DISMISSED, without prejudice, based 

on his failure to identify and timely serve this Defendant.1 The Clerk is instructed to terminate 

John Doe as a party Defendant. 

IT IS SO ORDERED, this 1st day of May, 2023.

UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE

 The court has previously advised Mr. Watkins that it is his responsibility to provide 

sufficient identifying information and valid service addresses for each Defendant. If Mr. 

Watkins is subsequently able to identify this Defendant he may seek leave to amend his 

pleading to reassert his claims against the Doe Defendant.
