IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS

NORTHERN DIVISION

BRANDON WILLIAMS PLAINTIFF

V. CASE NO. 3:19-CV-302-KGB-BD

TY FRAISER, et al. DEFENDANTS

RECOMMENDED DISPOSITION

I. Procedure for Filing Objections

This Recommendation for dismissal has been sent to Judge Kristine G. Baker. Mr. 

Williams may file written objections with the Clerk of Court if he disagrees with the 

findings or conclusions set out in the Recommendation. Objections should be specific 

and should include the factual or legal basis for the objection. 

To be considered, objections must be filed within 14 days. If Mr. Williams does 

not file objections, he risks waiving the right to appeal questions of fact. And, if no 

objections are filed, Judge Baker can adopt this Recommendation without independently 

reviewing the record. 

II. Discussion 

Clarence Anderson filed a federal civil rights lawsuit on behalf of Kevin Jones, 

Brandon Williams, and himself. (Docket entry #1) Each Plaintiff’s claims were opened as 

a separate lawsuit. 

In the original complaint, Mr. Anderson alleged that inmates were “denied proper 

medical treatment, recreation, chaplain, and news” at the Craighead County Detention 

Facility. (#1 at p.4) In addition, he alleged that the Defendants were aware of “black mold

infestation” at the Detention Facility. Because Mr. Williams did not explain how the 

Defendants violated his constitutional rights specifically, the Court ordered him to file an 

amended complaint within 30 days of December 5, 2019, to state how each Defendant 

violated his rights and describe the injury he suffered as a result of the violations. Mr. 

Williams was cautioned that his lawsuit could be dismissed if he did not amend his 

complaint within the time allowed. 

To date, Mr. Williams has failed to file an amended complaint, and the time to 

comply has passed. As the record stands, Mr. Williams has not stated a constitutional 

claim against the Defendants. 

III. Conclusion

The Court recommends that Mr. Williams’s claims be DISMISSED, without 

prejudice, based on his failure to amend his complaint, as ordered, and his failure to 

prosecute this lawsuit.

DATED this 9th day of January, 2020.
