No. 5:13-cv-346-DPM
JEFFERSON COUNTY, ARKANSAS
DEFENDANT
ORDER
Post-judgment motions, Ng 10 & 11, granted as to conclusions of law
and denied as to findings of fact. The constitutionality of the three-strikes
provision is well-established. Higgins v. Carpenter, 258 F.3d 797,799-801 (8th
Cir. 2001) (per curiam); Pointer v. Wilkinson, 502 F.3d 369,377-78, n.9 (6th Cir.
2007). This is a matter of law, not fact. No hearing is needed, or required, to
address this kind of legal issue. No findings of fact are called for.
A
Magistrate Judge may rule on non-dispositive legal issues. 28 U.S.C. ยง
636(b)(1); Local Rule 72.1.
So Ordered.
