IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS

PINE BLUFF DIVISION

JIMMY R. HEIKKILA, PLAINTIFF

ADC #122299 

v. CASE NO. 5:16CV00299 BSM 

WENDY KELLEY, Director,

Arkansas Department of Correction, et al. DEFENDANTS

ORDER

The partial recommended disposition submitted by United States Magistrate Judge J.

Thomas Ray [Doc. No. 5] and objections filed by plaintiff Jimmy Heikkila [Doc. No. 7] have

been reviewed. After careful consideration, the partial recommended disposition is adopted

in all respects. 

Accordingly, Heikkila is allowed to proceed with his free exercise claims under 42

U.S.C. § 1983, and the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act, 42 U.S.C. §

2000cc-1 (“RLUIPA”). Heikkila’s equal protection claim against defendants Wendy Kelley,

Randy Watson, and Joshua Mayfield is dismissed without prejudice. The U.S. Marshal is

directed to serve the summons and complaint [Doc. No. 2] and this order on Kelley, Watson,

and Mayfield. Finally, an in forma pauperis appeal taken from the order adopting the partial

recommended disposition will not be taken in good faith. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3).

IT IS SO ORDERED this 9th day of January 2017.
