Murry v. Arkansas Children's Hospital et al

Filing 19

ORDER dismissing Murry's claims against defendants Batchelor and Winslow with prejudice. Signed by Judge D. P. Marshall Jr. on 1/8/13. (kpr)

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS
WESTERN DIVISION

MARCUS MURRY

v.

PLAINTIFF

No. 4:12-cv-374-DPM

ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL;
LORI BATCHELOR and MARK WINSLOW

DEFENDANTS

ORDER
Murry asked the Court to reconsider dismissing his claims against
Batchelor and Winslow for lack of service. Document Nos. 13 & 14. It has.
Document No. 15. Murry says the hospital told him they would serve their

employees. Document Nos. 14 & 18. The hospital says it has no record of this
conversation with Murry. Document No. 16. Although these circumstances
present a factual dispute about service, it is moot because, as Arkansas
Children's Hospital correctly notes, individuals are not proper defendants in
Title VII discrimination suits. Lenhardt v. Basic Institute of Tech., Inc., 55 F.3d
377, 381 (8th Cir. 1995). Murry's claims against defendants Batchelor and
Winslow are therefore dismissed with prejudice.

So Ordered.
