IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS

NORTHERN DIVISION

CLARENCE ANDERSON, 

ADC #165441 PLAINTIFF

V. CASE NO. 3:19-CV-300-KGB-BD

TY FRAISER, et al. DEFENDANTS

RECOMMENDED DISPOSITION

I. Procedure for Filing Objections

This Recommendation for dismissal has been sent to Judge Kristine G. Baker. Mr. 

Anderson may file written objections with the Clerk of Court if he disagrees with the 

findings or conclusions set out in the Recommendation. Objections should be specific 

and should include the factual or legal basis for the objection. 

To be considered, objections must be filed within 14 days. If Mr. Anderson does 

not file objections, he risks waiving the right to appeal questions of fact. And, if no 

objections are filed, Judge Baker can adopt this Recommendation without independently 

reviewing the record. 

II. Discussion 

Clarence Anderson filed a federal civil rights lawsuit on behalf of Kevin Jones, 

Brandon Williams, and himself. (Docket entry #1) The Plaintiffs’ claims were filed as 

separate lawsuits, in accordance with Court policy. 

In the original complaint, Mr. Anderson alleged that inmates were “denied proper 

medical treatment, recreation, chaplain, and news” at the Craighead County Detention

Facility. (#1 at p.4) In addition, he alleged that the Defendants were aware of “black mold 

infestation” at the Detention Facility. Because Mr. Anderson did not explain how the 

Defendants violated his constitutional rights specifically, however, the Court ordered him 

to file an amended complaint by January 20, 2020, stating how each Defendant violated 

his rights and describing the injury he suffered as a result of the violations. Mr. Anderson 

was cautioned that his claims could be dismissed if he did not amend his complaint 

within the time allowed. 

To date, Mr. Anderson has failed to file an amended complaint, and the time to 

comply has passed. As the record stands, Mr. Anderson has not stated a constitutional 

claim against the Defendants. 

III. Conclusion

The Court recommends that Mr. Anderson’s claims be DISMISSED, without 

prejudice, based on his failure to amend his complaint, as ordered, and his failure to 

prosecute this lawsuit.

DATED this 21st day of January, 2020.
