IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS

EASTERN DIVISION

RUFUS POINDEXTER

ADC #140873 PLAINTIFF

Case No. 5:16-cv-00244-KGB-BD

ANDREWS, et al. DEFENDANTS

ORDER

The Court has reviewed the Recommended Disposition submitted by United States 

Magistrate Judge Beth Deere (Dkt. No. 21). Plaintiff Rufus Poindexter has filed no objections to 

the Recommended Disposition, and the time for filing objections has passed. After careful 

consideration of the Recommended Disposition, the Court concludes that the Recommended 

Disposition should be, and hereby is, approved and adopted in its entirety as this Court’s findings 

in all respects (Dkt. No. 21). Therefore, the Court grants defendants’ motion to dismiss and 

dismisses without prejudice this case based on Mr. Poindexter’s failure to exhaust administrative 

remedies (Dkt. No. 8).1 The pending motion for protective order is denied as moot (Dkt. No. 

23). 

So ordered this 16th day of February, 2017.

 This Court agrees that, even though separate defendant Captain Demery, previously 

misidentified as “Captain Denver,” has not yet been served and therefore did not join in the 

motion to dismiss, the exhaustion requirement applies equally to Captain Demery (Dkt. No. 21, 

at 2 n.1).
