IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS 

NORTHERN DIVISION 

CHRISTOPHER DON PENNINGTON 

ADC #149290 

v. No. 1:19-cv-49-DPM 

WENDY KELLEY, Director, Arkansas 

Department of Correction Central Office; 

LOMAN JOHNSON, Captain, Food Prep 

Supervisor, ADC Grimes Unit; and 

LARRY BAILEY, Maintenance 

Coordinator, Grimes Unit 

ORDER 

PLAINTIFF 

DEFENDANTS 

On de novo review, the Court partly adopts and partly declines the 

recommendation, NQ 7, and partly sustains Pennington's objections, 

NQ 8. FED. R. CIV. P. 72(b)(3). Pennington's claims against Kelley are 

dismissed without prejudice. 

In his objections, Pennington alleges that Johnson and Bailey 

knew about the faulty power cord and didn't do anything about it. 

NQ 8 at 2-3. But these facts aren't in Pennington's amended complaint. 

NQ 6. The Court directs the Clerk to send Pennington another blank 

§ 1983 complaint form. Pennington may file a second amended 

complaint fleshing out what Johnson and Bailey allegedly knew and 

when. He must file the amendment by 30 August 2019. The Court

returns this case to the Magistrate Judge to screen the proposed 

amendment. 

So Ordered.
