IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS

EASTERN DIVISION

KORTEZ DAYVONE HOWARD PLAINTIFF

v. Case No. 2:15-cv-00084-KGB-JTR

MIXSON, Nurse,

East Arkansas Regional Unit, ADC DEFENDANT

ORDER

The Court has received a Recommended Disposition from United States Magistrate 

Judge Tom Ray (Dkt. No. 6). Plaintiff Kortez Dayvone Howard has filed an objection (Dkt No. 

7). After careful review of the Recommended Disposition, the timely objections, and a de novo

review of the record, the Court concludes that the Recommended Disposition should be, and 

hereby is, approved and adopted in its entirety as this Court’s findings in all respects.

Accordingly, the Court dismisses without prejudice Mr. Howard’s claims for failure to 

state a claim upon which relief may be granted. Dismissal of this case constitutes a “strike” 

within the meaning of the Prison Litigation Reform Act, 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g).1

 The Court 

certifies that an in forma pauperis appeal from an Order and Judgment dismissing this case 

would not be taken in good faith, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3).

SO ORDERED this 7th day of January, 2015.

 1 The statute provides that a prisoner may not file an in forma pauperis civil rights action

or appeal if the prisoner has, on three or more prior occasions, filed an action or appeal that was

dismissed as frivolous, malicious, or for failure to state a claim, unless the prisoner is under

imminent danger of serious physical injury.
