IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS
PINE BLUFF DIVISION
LESTER EUGENE RIDER
ADC # 152530
v.

PLAINTIFF

Case No. 5:13-cv-00202 KGB-BD

RITA STARR, et al.

DEFENDANTS
ORDER

The Court has received a Partial Recommended Disposition (“Recommendation”) filed
by Magistrate Judge Beth Deere (Dkt. No. 88). Mr. Rider filed a motion for extension of time to
file objections to the Recommendation, and the Court granted that motion (Dkt. No. 89). Mr.
Rider then filed objections to the Recommendation (Dkt. No. 92). After careful review of the
Recommendation, Mr. Rider’s timely objections, and a de novo review of the record, the Court
concludes that the Recommendation should be, and hereby is, approved and adopted in its
entirety as this Court’s findings in all respects.
Accordingly, plaintiff Lester Eugene Rider’s claims against defendants Ryan Gordon,
Lonnie Paranuk, James Thomas, Daniel Potter, Billy Stinnett, Lon Watson, Timothy Thomas,
Garland Alexander, Courtney McClina-Latham, Nada D’Avignon, Winston Middleton, Laurel
Hooks, Crystal Bell, and Sheldon Childress are dismissed without prejudice, based on Mr.
Rider’s failure to exhaust his administrative remedies against these defendants, as required by
federal law. The above-named defendants’ motion for summary judgment is granted (Dkt. No.
76).
SO ORDERED this 12th day of January, 2016.
