IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS 

CENTRAL DIVISION 

 

JOSEPH WILLIAMS PLAINTIFF 

#26763-009 

 

v. No. 4:23-CV-00513-LPR-BBM 

TURN KEY HEALTH, et al. DEFENDANTS 

ORDER 

The Court has reviewed the Partial Recommended Disposition (PRD) submitted by United 

States Magistrate Judge J. Thomas Ray (Doc. 10). No objections have been filed, and the time to 

do so has expired. After a de novo review of the PRD and careful consideration of the case record, 

the Court hereby approves and adopts the PRD in its entirety as this Court’s findings and 

conclusions in all respects.1 

Accordingly, Plaintiff may proceed with his Fourteenth Amendment deliberate 

indifference to serious medical needs claim against Defendant Clark in her personal capacity. 

Plaintiff’s official capacity claims against Defendant Clark and his claims against Defendant Turn 

Key Health are DISMISSED without prejudice for failure to state a claim on which relief may be 

granted. The Clerk is directed to terminate Turn Key Health as a party to this action. The Court 

certifies, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3), that an in forma pauperis appeal from this Order 

would not be taken in good faith. 

IT IS SO ORDERED this 25th day of April 2024.

 The Court is not certain it agrees with Judge Ray that Spann v. Roper, 453 F.3d 1007 (8th Cir. 2006) applies here 

because the allegations don’t make clear that a large dose of pills were given to the Plaintiff. But it’s a close enough 

call to let the Complaint pass screening and deal with the issue either on a motion to dismiss or at summary judgment.
