IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS 

PINE BLUFF DIVISION 

ABRAHAM/RASHEEN GRANT/RAKIM 

ADC #128147 

v. No. 5:16-cv-305-DPM-JTK 

PLAINTIFF 

WENDY KELLEY, 

Director, ADC DEFENDANT 

ORDER 

1. On de nova review, the Court adopts the recommendation, N2 3, as 

modified and partly sustains Grant/Rakim' s objections, N2 4. FED. R. CIV. 

P. 72(b)(3). 

2. The Court concludes that Grant/Rakim alleges facts sufficient to 

clear the imminent danger bar. 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g); N2 2 & 4. His motion to 

proceed in forma pauperis, Ng 1, is therefore granted. As the Magistrate Judge 

notes, though, Grant/Rakim' s complaint fails to state a claim against Director 

Kelley. N2 3 at 4. His claims against her are therefore dismissed without 

prejudice. If Grant/Rakim wishes to continue with this case, then he 

must file an amended complaint against an appropriate defendant by 

Case 5:16-cv-00305-DPM Document 8 Filed 01/11/17 Page 1 of 2
10 February 2017. If he fails to do so, then his case will be dismissed without 

prejudice. LOCAL RULE 5.5(c)(2). 

3. The Court returns this case to the Magistrate Judge for further 

proceedings. The Magistrate Judge will enter an Order with details about 

collecting the filing fee; and he will screen any amended complaint. 

So Ordered.
