IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS 

PINE BLUFF DIVISION 

ROBERT THOMAS MAXWELI/G-DOFFEE 

ADC #108778 

v. No. 5:13-cv-291-DPM-JJV 

PLAINTIFF 

RICHARD CLARK, Sgt., ADC Maximum 

Security Unit, and RODERICK L. COOKSEY, JR., 

Corporal, ADC Maximum Security Unit DEFENDANTS 

ORDER 

1. Motion, Ng 147, granted as modified. Motions in limine due by 

29 July 2016; responses due by 5 August 2016. Pre-trial disclosures, trial 

briefs, and jury instructions due by 10 August 2016. 

2. The Court has previously referred to Maxwell/ G-Doffee' s first claim 

as an excessive force claim; and many of the acts described in his complaint 

fit that framework. But acts that never serve a legitimate penological 

purpose-like sexual assault-are better submitted in terms of deliberate 

indifference. E.g., Whitley v. Albers, 475 U.S. 312, 320-21 (1986). The Court 

asks the parties to think about this distinction and address it in their proposed 

instructions and pre-trial submissions.
