JAMES F. BROWN PLAINTIFF

VS. Civil No. 06-CV-1019

KEN JONES, Sheriff, Union

County, Arkansas; JUAN M.

REYES, Deputy Sheriff; GREG

STEVENSON, Deputy Sheriff;

SHELBY MURPHEE, and 

UNION COUNTY, ARKANSAS DEFENDANTS

ORDER

Now on this 7th day of June, 2006, comes on for consideration the proposed

findings and recommendations filed herein on My 16, 2006, by the Honorable Bobby E.

Shepherd, United States Magistrate Judge for the Western District of Arkansas. Ten (10)

days having passed without objections being filed by the parties, the court hereby adopts

in toto the findings and recommendations.

Accordingly, the court finds that Brown's claims against Shelby Murphee should

be and are hereby dismissed prior to service of process as the claims are frivolous and fail

to state claims upon which relief can be granted. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B)(i)-

(iii)(IFP action, or any portion thereof, may be dismissed because it fails to state a claim

or states a claim that is not presently cognizable). Further, Brown's false arrest and false

imprisonment claims should be and are hereby dismissed on the grounds they are barred

by Heck. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B)(i)-(iii)(IFP action, or any portion thereof, may

be dismissed because it fails to state a claim or states a claim that is not presently

cognizable). Finally, to the extent the remaining claims, such as the illegal search claim

are not barred by Heck, the court finds that the claims should be and are hereby stayed and

administratively terminated. Yamaha Motor Corp. v. Stroud,, 179 F.3d 598, 603-04(8th

Cir. 1999)(stay rather than dismissal appropriate when damages are sought and the court

is not being asked to declare a state statute unconstitutional). Brown may reopen his

claims after the conclusion of the state criminal case.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
