IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS

EASTERN DIVISION

RONNIE WAYNE COLE, ADC # 82924 PLAINTIFF

v. 2:15CV00170-JM-JJV

QUIBLE BUTLER, Nurse,

East Arkansas Regional Unit; et al. DEFENDANTS

ORDER

Pending before the Court is Plaintiff’s Motion for VoluntaryDismissal (“Motion”) (Doc. No.

41). Pursuant to his Motion, he asks that all Defendants be dismissed without prejudice and

dismissal of this action not count as a ‘strike’ within the meaning of the Prison Litigation Reform

Act. (Id.) Only Defendant Mary Fletcher remains, however. Defendant Chew was dismissed on

screening (Doc. No. 6), Defendants Quible Butler, Monica Dunn, and Melissa Mansfield were

dismissed due to Plaintiff’s failure to exhaust administrative remedies against them (Doc. No. 34),

and Defendant Crowley was dismissed pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 4(m) (Doc. No.

38). Accordingly, Plaintiff’s Motion will be granted onlywith respect to his remaining claims against

Defendant Fletcher. No strike is warranted on this dismissal.

IT IS, THEREFORE, ORDERED that:

1. Plaintiff’s Motion for Voluntary Dismissal (Doc. No. 41) is GRANTED in part.

a. Plaintiff’s claims against Defendant Mary Fletcher are DISMISSED without 

prejudice.

b. The Motion is denied in all other respects. 

2. The Clerk of Court shall close this case.
