RONALD DEWAYNE SMULLIN PLAINTIFF

V. CASE NO. 3:15-CV-158-BD

BRETT DUNCAN, et al. DEFENDANTS

ORDER

Ronald Wayne Smullin, an Arkansas Department of Correction inmate formerly

housed at the Craighead County Detention Facility, filed this lawsuit pro se under 42

U.S.C. § 1983. In his complaint, he alleged that Defendants acted with deliberate

indifference to his medical needs following an inmate attack on April 14, 2015. 

Mr. Smullin has now moved to amend his complaint to add failure-to-protect

claims against Defendants Allison and Peaster. (Docket entry #78) The motion (#78) is

GRANTED. The Clerk of the Court is directed to file Mr. Smullin’s motion (#78) as a

supplement to his amended complaint. 

Mr. Smullin’s Motion for Ruling (#87) is DENIED, as moot. His motion for

court-appointed counsel (#88) is DENIED for reasons previously explained. (#2)

IT IS SO ORDERED, this 23rd day of February, 2016.
