IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS 

DELTA DIVISION 

CHARLES HAMNER 

ADC #143063 

v. No. 2:22-cv-158-DPM-JTK 

DEAN MANNIS, Chief Executive 

Officer/Sheriff, Arkansas County 

Detention Center and 

PATRICIA SNYDER, Former Jail 

Administrator/Officer, Arkansas 

County Detention Center 

ORDER 

PLAINTIFF 

DEFENDANTS 

1. On de novo review, the Court adopts Magistrate Judge 

Kearney's partial recommendation as supplemented, Doc. 7, and 

overrules Hamner's objections, Doc. 8. FED. R. CIV. P. 72(b) 

(1983 addition to advisory committee notes). His due process and 

retaliation claims are Heck-barred. A successful challenge to his transfer 

would necessarily invalidate his extended parole revocation sentence 

by declaration, injunction, or both. Newmy v. Johnson, 758 F.3d 1008, 

1011-12 (8th Cir. 2014). Furthermore, the only damages Hamner seeks 

to recover arise out of his allegedly wrongful imprisonment. Doc. 2 at 

16; Heck v. Humphrey, 512 U.S. 477,487 n.7 (1994); Cooney v. Arkansas, 

2022 WL 288143, at *1 n.1 (8th Cir. 1 Feb. 2022) (unpublished per curiam). 

Hamner' s parole-related conspiracy, due process, and retaliation 

Case 2:22-cv-00158-DPM Document 17 Filed 12/21/22 Page 1 of 2
claims are dismissed without prejudice. His access to the courts and 

failure to protect claims are also dismissed without prejudice for the 

reasons specified in the recommendation. His remaining claims will 

proceed. 

2. Hamner' s embedded motion for copies is granted. The 

Court directs the Clerk to send Hamner a copy of Doc. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 & 6. 

So Ordered.
