THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS
CENTRAL DIVISION
LEE ANDREW FOSTER, JR.
ADC #142627
v.
PLAINTIFF
Case No. 4:24-cv-00189-KGB
MARY MENA, Grievance Officer,
Tucker Maximum Security Unit, et al.
DEFENDANTS
ORDER
Before the Court are a Recommended Disposition (“Recommendation”) submitted by
United States Magistrate Edie R. Ervin (Dkt. No. 4) and several pending motions filed by plaintiff
Lee Andrew Foster, Jr. (Dkt. Nos. 6–8). Mr. Foster filed objections to the Recommendation (Dkt.
No. 5). After conducting a de novo review of the record, the Court adopts the Recommendation
in its entirety as this Court’s findings in all respects. Mr. Foster’s complaint is dismissed without
prejudice (Dkt. No. 2). The Court recommends that, in the future, this dismissal be considered a
“strike” for purposes of 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g). The Court certifies, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §
1915(a)(3), that an in forma pauperis appeal from this Order or the accompanying Judgment would
not be taken in good faith. The Court construes Mr. Foster’s pending motion for “judgment on
objection to recommended disposition” (Dkt. No. 6) and motion for an Order (Dkt. No. 8) as
requests for status reports in this matter, and the Court considers this Order as sufficient to grant
the relief requested in those motions. Mr. Foster’s other pending motion, styled as a motion to
comply, is denied as moot (Dkt. No. 7).
It is so ordered this 27th day of January, 2025.
