DEFENDANTS

ORDER
Before the Court are the Recommended Partial Dispositions (“Recommendations”) from
United States Magistrate Judge J. Thomas Ray (Dkt. Nos. 6, 23). Plaintiff Mondrea Renee Scott
filed objections to Judge Ray’s first Recommendations (Dkt. No. 9), but she filed no timely
objections to Judge Ray’s second Recommendations.

After review of Judge Ray’s first

Recommendations and the timely objections, as well as a de novo review of the record, this Court
adopts Judge Ray’s first Recommendations in their entirety as this Court’s findings in all respects
(Dkt. No. 6). After review of Judge Ray’s second Recommendations, this Court adopts Judge
Ray’s second Recommendations in their entirety as this Court’s findings in all respects (Dkt. No.
23).
It is therefore ordered that:
1.

Ms. Scott may proceed with her due process and equal protection claims against

separate defendants James Banks, Darryl Golden, and Dexter Payne in their individual capacities.
2.

The Court dismisses with prejudice Ms. Scott’s claims against Mr. Banks, Mr.

Golden, and Mr. Payne in their official capacities.
3.

The Court dismisses with prejudice Ms. Scott’s claims against separate defendant

Arkansas Department of Correction (“ADC”).

The Court certifies, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. ' 1915(a)(3), that an in forma pauperis appeal
from this Order would not be taken in good faith.
So ordered this 16th day of October, 2017.
