IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS
PINE BLUFF DIVISION
JERMAIN D. LEWIS
ADC #161312
v.

PLAINTIFF

CASE NO. 5:17-CV-00181 BSM

CAROLYN CHISOM, et al.

DEFENDANTS
ORDER

Having reviewed United States Magistrate Judge Beth Deere’s recommended
disposition [Doc. No. 8], plaintiff Jermain Lewis’s objections [Doc. No. 14], and the entire
record, de novo, the recommended disposition is adopted in its entirety. Although Lewis’s
objection attempts to cure the defects in his complaint that were addressed in the
recommended disposition, it fails to do so. The complaint [Doc. No. 7] is therefore
dismissed without prejudice, and this dismissal counts as a “strike” for the purposes of the
Prison Litigation Reform Act. It is further certified that an in forma pauperis appeal from
this order and judgment would not be taken in good faith.
IT IS SO ORDERED this 20th day of October 2017.
