IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS
PINE BLUFF DIVISION
KENNY HALFACRE, ADC # 84410,
v.

PLAINTIFF

No. 5:11CV00101-JLH

CHERYL V. JONES, Correctional
Sergeant, Varner Unit, Arkansas
Department of Correction

DEFENDANT
ORDER

The Court has reviewed the Proposed Findings and Recommended Disposition submitted by
United States Magistrate Judge Joe J. Volpe and Halfacre’s objections. After carefully considering
the objections and making a de novo review of the record, the Court concludes that the Proposed
Findings and Recommended Disposition should be, and hereby are, approved and adopted in their
entirety as this Court’s findings in all respects. In addition, Halfacre was convicted of the
disciplinary violation that he alleges was written out of a retaliatory motive, but he cannot prevail
on that claim because there was some evidence that he was guilty of the disciplinary violation of
which he was convicted. Hartsfield v. Nichols, 511 F.3d 826, 829-30 (8th Cir. 2008).
IT IS, THEREFORE, ORDERED that:
1.

This cause of action is DISMISSED without prejudice for failure to exhaust all

administrative remedies.
2.

The Court certifies, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3), that an in forma pauperis

appeal from an Order adopting these recommendations would not be taken in good faith.
DATED this 26th day of August, 2013.
