IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS

CENTRAL DIVISION

RICHARD GILLIAM PLAINTIFF

ADC # 209415

v. CASE NO. 4:19-CV-00769-BSM 

JOHN STALEY, et al. DEFENDANTS

ORDER

After careful review of the record, United States Magistrate Judge Joe Volpe’s partial

recommended disposition [Doc. No. 24] is adopted, and Richard Gilliam’s claim against John

Staley and Matthew Hodge alleging that they directly participated in opening his legal mail

is dismissed without prejudice. Gilliam’s corrective inaction claim against Staley, Hodge,

Kevin Smith, and Margie Grigsby, may proceed. It is certified that an in pauperis appeal

would not be taken in good faith. 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3).

IT IS SO ORDERED this 15th day of May, 2020.
