ARKANSAS DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTION, et al.

Plaintiff has not filed objections to the Magistrate Judge's recommended disposition but instead has filed a motion to amend what he states is his "ambiguous complaint." Plaintiff, however, sets forth nothing that would call into question the Magistrate Judge's recommended disposition. Accordingly, plaintiff's motion to amend his complaint [doc.#5] is denied.
