Before the Court is the Report and Recommendation filed October 7, 2024, by the
Honorable Barry A. Bryant, United States Magistrate Judge for the Western District of Arkansas.
ECF No. 16.

Judge Bryant recommends that Plaintiff’s claims of access to the courts,

relief may be granted. Plaintiff has 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 (ECF No.1 6) in toto. Accordingly, Plaintiff’s claims of access to the courts,
discrimination, and all official capacity claims are DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE
pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915A(b)(1) for failure to state a claim upon which relief may be granted.
Plaintiff’s claims of retaliation against both Defendants in their individual capacities remain for
further litigation.
IT IS SO ORDERED, this 25th day of October, 2024.
