IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

WESTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS

HOT SPRINGS DIVISION

ROY GRAY PLAINTIFF

V. CIVIL NO. 6:20-cv-06034

VERONIQUE MOORE DEFENDANT

ORDER

The Court has received a Report and Recommendation (ECF No. 13) from United States 

Magistrate Judge Barry A. Bryant. Plaintiff proceeds in this 42 U.S.C. §1983 action pro se and in forma 

pauperis. Upon review, the Magistrate recommended that Plaintiff’s official capacity claims be dismissed 

without prejudice, because Defendant Moore was an employee of the Arkansas Department of Correction

at the time of the alleged Constitutional violations. Plaintiff has filed timely, written Objections (ECF No.

14) to the Report and Recommendation. The matter is now ripe for consideration.

The Court has conducted a de novo review of the report and recommendation. 28 U.S.C. § 

636(b)(1). After consideration, the Court finds that Plaintiff’s Objections offer neither law nor fact 

requiring departure from the Magistrate’s findings, and that the report and recommendation is proper, 

contains no clear error, and should be and hereby is ADOPTED IN ITS ENTIRETY.

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that Plaintiff’s official capacity claims against Defendant Moore

should be and hereby are DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE. 

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Plaintiff’s individual capacity claims remain before the Court 

for adjudication.

SO ORDERED this 20th day of May 2020.
