IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS 

CENTRAL DIVISION 

DONOVAN HENDERSON, 

ADC #104041 PLAINTIFF

V. CASE NO. 4:20-CV-26-BRW-BD 

RORY GRIFFIN, et al. DEFENDANTS

ORDER 

I have received a Recommendation from Magistrate Judge Beth Deere. The parties have 

not filed objections. After careful review of the Recommendation and the record, I approve and 

adopt the Recommendation in all respects. 

The Medical Defendants’ motion for partial summary judgment (Doc. No. 28) is 

GRANTED, in part, and DENIED, in part. Mr. Henderson may proceed on his claims that the 

Medical Defendants, including Defendant Onyia-Murphy, failed to transfer him from the 

Maximum Security Unit to a medical facility, such as the Ouachita River Unit, as raised in 

grievances MX-19-1522 and MX-191554. 

Defendant Griffin’s motion for summary judgment (Doc. No. 32) is GRANTED. Claims 

against Defendant Griffin are DISMISSED, without prejudice, based on Mr. Henderson’s failure 

to exhaust his administrative remedies prior to filing this lawsuit. The Clerk is instructed to 

terminate Defendant Griffin as a party Defendant. 

IT IS SO ORDERED, this 10th day of June, 2020.
