IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS

PINE BLUFF DIVISION

CHRISTOPHER POWELL PLAINTIFF

v. Case No. 5:13-cv-00258-KGB

CITY OF PINE BLUFF, et al. DEFENDANTS

JUDGMENT

Consistent with the Order entered in this matter on this date, the Court grants the motion 

for summary judgment filed by defendants’ City of Pine Bluff, Mayor Debe Hollingsworth, 

Daryl Atkins, Albert Ridgell, Delois Williams, Ivan Whitfield, Althea Hadden Scott, Kelvin 

Sergeant, and Vickie Conaway (Dkt. No. 28). The Court also grants defendant Keyyona 

Penistier’s motion for summary judgment (Dkt. No. 32). The Court enters judgment in favor of 

these defendants on plaintiff Christopher Powell’s procedural due process and equal protection 

claims under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, conspiracy claim under 42 U.S.C. § 1985, and on any freedom of 

speech, freedom of political association, and retaliation claims alleged. To the extent that this 

Court’s Order does not dispose of Mr. Powell’s claims under Arkansas state law, including but 

not limited to his state law reverse race and gender discrimination claims, this Court declines to 

exercise supplemental jurisdiction over such claims and dismisses them.

SO ADJUDGED this 16th day of November, 2015.
