IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS

CENTRAL DIVISION

HARLIE THACKER

ADC #152566 PLAINTIFF

v. Case No. 4:18-cv-00895-KGB-JJV

SHARRON KING,

Supervisor, Corizon; et. al. DEFENDANTS

ORDER

Before the Court are the Proposed Findings and Recommendations submitted by United 

States Magistrate Judge Joe J. Volpe (Dkt. No. 37). Plaintiff Harlie Thacker filed an objection to 

the Proposed Findings and Recommendations (Dkt. No. 38). After careful review of the Proposed 

Findings and Recommendations and Mr. Thacker’s objections, as well as a de novo review of the 

record, the Court adoptsthe Proposed Findings and Recommendations as its findings in all respects 

(Dkt. No. 37). 

The Court writes separately to address Mr. Thacker’s objections. Mr. Thacker claims that 

contracted medical providers refused to provide his complete medical records; however, there is 

no record evidence to suggest that Mr. Thacker was denied the opportunity to conduct discovery 

or that he filed a motion with the Court raising any discovery issues prior to the discovery deadline. 

The remainder of Mr. Thacker’s objections are either unresponsive to his claim that Dr. Jessica 

Jackson Breedlove failed to provide him with adequate dental care in October 2017 or restate 

objections raised in his response to Dr. Jackson Breedlove’s motion for summary judgment. The 

Court has adopted Judge Volpe’s analysis and reasoning as its own; the Court will not repeat that 

analysis with respect to Mr. Thacker’s restated objections. For these reasons, the Court adopts the 

Proposed Findings and Recommendations as its findings in all respects (Dkt. No. 37).

It is therefore ordered that:

1. Dr. Jackson Breedlove’s motion for summary judgment is granted (Dkt. No. 27).

2. Mr. Thacker’s inadequate dental care claim against Dr. Jackson Breedlove is

dismissed with prejudice.

3. The Court certifies, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3), that an in forma pauperis

appeal from this Order would not be taken in good faith. 

It is so ordered this 19th day of March, 2020.
