JUDGMENT
Before the Court is the Report and Recommendation filed August 8, 2012 by the Honorable
Barry A. Bryant, United States Magistrate Judge for the Western District of Arkansas. (ECF No.
15). Judge Bryant recommends that Separate Defendants Floyd Nutt and Bob Dunn’s Motion for
Judgment on the Pleadings (ECF No. 13) be granted and that Plaintiff’s claims against them be
dismissed with prejudice. Specifically, Judge Bryant found that Plaintiff’s claims of verbal abuse
are not actionable under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. The parties have not filed objections to the Report and
Recommendation, and the time to object has passed. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1). Therefore, the Court
adopts the Report and Recommendation in toto. Plaintiff’s claims against Defendant Floyd Nutt and
Defendant Bob Dunn are DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE.
IT IS SO ORDERED, this 28th day of August, 2012.
