IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS 

PINE BLUFF DIVISION 

JAMES McALPHIN 

ADC #88328 PLAINTIFF

KENNETH HOLDER,* Doctor, ADC, 

East Arkansas Regional Unit; CORRECT 

CARE SOLUTIONS LLC; and RONALD 

STUKEY, Doctor 

ORDER 

DEFENDANTS

partial recommendation, NQ 73, and overrules McAlphin' s objections, 

Ng 74. FED. R. CIV. P. 72(b)(3). McAlphin believes that attempting to 

exhaust his remedies against CCS- or for a broader swath of time 

against Holder and Stukey-would have been futile. But that belief 

isn't enough to excuse the statutory exhaustion requirement. Booth v. 

Churner, 532 U.S. 731, 741 n.6 (2001); Lyon v. Vande Krol, 305 F.3d 806, 

809 (8th Cir. 2002). The motion for partial summary judgment, Ng 59, 

is therefore granted. McAlphin' s claims against CCS are dismissed 

without prejudice. His claims against Holder and Stukey are limited to 

* The Court directs the Clerk to update Holder's and Stukey' s names on 

the docket.
