IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS

HELENA DIVISION

KALIB J. DELVALLE PLAINTIFF

REG #20985-45

v. Case No. 2:16-cv-00096-KGB-PSH

STANLEY GATCHEL DEFENDANT

ORDER

The Court has received Proposed Findings and Recommendation from United States 

Magistrate Judge Patricia S. Harris (Dkt. No. 16). Plaintiff Kalib J. DelValle has filed objections 

to the Proposed Findings and Recommendation (Dkt. No. 22). After careful review of the

Proposed Findings and Recommendation, the timely objections, as well as a de novo review of the 

record including but not limited to the evidence, affidavit, and motion to amend his complaint 

submitted by Mr. DelValle (Dkt. Nos. 17, 18, 21), the Court adopts the Proposed Findings and 

Recommendation in part (Dkt. No. 16). The Proposed Findings and Recommendation are correct 

in that Mr. DelValle’s current complaint fails to state a claim upon which relief may be granted. 

However, instead of dismissing this action, the Court grants Mr. DelValle’s pending 

motion to amend his complaint (Dkt. No. 21). Accordingly, if Mr. DelValle intends to pursue this 

lawsuit, he must submit, no later than 30 days after the entry of this Order, an amended complaint 

explaining who the defendants in this case are and the time, place, and manner in which each 

defendant allegedly violated his rights. Mr. DelValle’s failure to articulate an alleged violation of 

his constitutional rights will result in the dismissal of his complaint. The Court denies as moot all 

other pending motions.
