IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS 

PINE BLUFF DIVISION 

RICHARD BOWER 

ADC #144498 

v. No. 5:16-cv-200-DPM 

PLAINTIFF 

ARKANSAS DEPARTMENT 

OF CORRECTION DEFENDANT 

ORDER 

The Court construes Bower's Writ of Mandamus, NQ 7, as an objection. 

On de nova review, the Court adopts the recommendation, NQ 6, and overrules 

Bower's objection, NQ 7. FED. R. CIV. P. 72(b)(3). Bower's complaint will be 

dismissed without prejudice for failure to state a claim. This dismissal counts 

as a "strike" for purposes of 28U.S.C.§1915(g). Bower's embedded motion 

for appointed counsel, NQ 7 at 2, is denied as moot. An in forma pauperis 

appeal from this Order and accompanying Judgment will not be taken in 

good faith. 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3). 

So Ordered. 

D.P. Marshall Jr.
