IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS
JONESBORO DIVISION
CEDRIC GLAZE
v.

PLAINTIFF
Case No. 3:15-cv-00161 KGB/BD

MIKE ALLEN, et al.

DEFENDANTS
ORDER

The Court has reviewed the Recommended Disposition filed by United States Magistrate
Judge Beth Deere (Dkt. No. 84). Plaintiff Cedric Glaze filed objections to the Recommended
Disposition (Dkt. No. 88). Mr. Glaze’s objections were not timely filed. 1 However, the Court has
considered his objections and has reviewed de novo the record. After careful consideration, this
Court concludes that the Recommended Disposition should be, and hereby is, approved and
adopted as this Court’s findings in all respects (Dkt. No. 84). In reaching this conclusion, the
Court reviewed de novo the record, including but not limited to the video evidence of the
underlying incident in this action (Dkt. Nos. 74-3). The Court also notes that, while Mr. Glaze
claims that he “never admitted that he hit anyone[,]” Mr. Glaze admitted under oath in his
deposition in this action that he plead guilty to second degree battery on Officer Bryan Hines based
on the underlying incident in this action (Dkt. No. 74-13, at 61-64).

1

Mr. Glaze moved for an extension of time to file his objections (Dkt. No. 85). The Court
granted Mr. Glaze’s motion and extended the deadline for Mr. Glaze to file his objections to April
7, 2017 (Dkt. No. 86). Mr. Glaze filed his objections on April 13, 2017 (Dkt. No. 88).

The Court grants defendants’ motion for summary judgment (Dkt. No. 72). This action is
dismissed with prejudice. It is certified, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3), that an in forma
pauperis appeal would not be taken in good faith.
So ordered this 27th day of June, 2017.
