IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS

WESTERN DIVISION

MICHAEL ALAN STACY

ADC #127239 PLAINTIFF

v. Case No. 4:17-cv-00208-KGB/JTR

DESHANNON HUMPHARY

Guard, Faulkner County

Detention Center DEFENDANT

ORDER

Before the Court is the Recommended Partial Disposition submitted by United States 

Magistrate Judge J. Thomas Ray (Dkt. No. 49). Plaintiff Michael Alan Stacy filed timely 

objections to the Recommended Partial Disposition (Dkt. No. 50). After careful consideration of 

the Recommended Partial Disposition, Mr. Stacy’s objections, and a de novo review of the record, 

the Court concludes that the Recommended Partial Disposition should be, and hereby is, approved 

and adopted in its entirely as this Court’s findings in all respects (Dkt. No. 49). After reviewing 

Mr. Stacy’s objections, the Court observes that most of the objections Mr. Stacy raises have no 

bearing on this case (Dkt. No. 50). Accordingly, the Court grants defendant DeShannon 

Humphary’s motion for summary judgment with respect to Mr. Stacy’s claim for compensatory 

damages and denies the motion in all other respects. Mr. Stacy may proceed with both his failure 

to protect and retaliation claims, but if he proves a constitutional violation, Mr. Stacy may recover 

only nominal damages, not compensatory damages or damages for mental distress.

It is so ordered, this 17th day of September, 2018.
