IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS

DELTA DIVISION

SHAWN ANTHONY SKAGGS, JR. PLAINTIFF

ADC #163721

v. CASE NO.: 2:20-CV-00023-JM-JJV

DEXTER L. PAYNE, Deputy Director, DEFENDANTS

Arkansas Division of Correction; et al.

ORDER

The Court has reviewed the Proposed Findings and Recommended Disposition submitted 

by United States Magistrate Judge Joe J. Volpe. Mr. Skaggs requested and received additional 

time to file his objections. After his time to file objections had expired, Mr. Skaggs filed a motion 

to continue and to appoint counsel; he also filed a motion for production of documents. (Doc. No.s 

16, 17). After carefully considering Mr. Skagg’s recent motions and making a de novo review of 

the record, the Court concludes that the Proposed Findings and Recommended Disposition should 

be, and hereby is, approved and adopted in its entirety as this Court’s findings in all respects. 

IT IS, THEREFORE, ORDERED that:

1. Plaintiff’s Motion to Continue and to Appoint Counsel (Doc. No. 16) is DENIED.

2. Plaintiff’s Motion for Production of Documents (Doc. No. 17) is DENIED.

3. Plaintiff’s claims are dismissed without prejudice.

4. Plaintiff’s Complaint, as amended (Doc. No. 6), is dismissed without prejudice.

5. This dismissal counts as a “strike” for purposes of 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g).

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

appeal from any Order adopting these recommendations and the accompanying Judgment would 

not be taken in good faith.
