ORDER
1. On de nova review, the Court adopts the recommendation, Ng

FED. R. CIV. P. 72(b)(3).

Reed's claims against the Faulkner County Sheriff's Department and
the Faulkner County Detention Center are dismissed with prejudice.
His claims against Ferguson and Fletcher are dismissed without
prejudice. Reed's claims about access to the courts and the conditions

of his confinement are dismissed without prejudice for failure to state
a claim.
2. The rest of Reed's case is stayed. Younger v . Harris, 401 U.S. 37
(1971). The Court directs the Clerk to administratively terminate this
case. Reed may move to reopen after final disposition of his state case,
including any appeal. Any motion to reopen must be filed within sixty
days of that final disposition. If Reed doesn't file a timely motion to
reopen or a status report by 13 March 2019, then the Court will reopen
the case and dismiss it without prejudice.
3. Neither of Reed's pending motions, NQ 13 & NQ 15, change the
Court's conclusion. They are therefore denied without prejudice as
moot.
So Ordered.
