IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS 

CENTRAL DIVISION 

WILLIAM MAYFIELD PLAINTIFF 

ADC #659228 

 

V. NO. 4:23-cv-00046-JM-ERE 

SHERIDAN DETENTION CENTER, et al. DEFENDANTS 

ORDER 

The Court has received a Recommendation from Magistrate Judge Edie R. Ervin. After 

careful review of the Recommendation, Defendant Vance’s timely objections, as well as a de novo 

review of the record, the Court concludes that the Recommendation should be, and hereby is, 

approved and adopted as this Court’s findings in all respects. In his objection, Defendant Vance 

provided evidence through public records that he retired as Sheriff of Grant County on December 

31, 2022. Greenman v. Jessen,787 F.3d 882, 887 (8th Cir. 2015) (court can consider materials that 

are part of the public record on a motion to dismiss). Although Defendant Vance may not have 

been the Sheriff after December 31, 2022, Plaintiff’s allegation that Defendant Vance was present 

at the Detention Center during the relevant time period must be taken as true at this stage of the 

litigation. 

Defendant Vance’s motion to dismiss (Doc. 51) is DENIED in part and GRANTED in part. 

IT IS SO ORDERED, this 17th day of July, 2023.
