ORDER
Before the Court is the Report and Recommendation filed November 6, 2012 by the
Honorable Barry A. Bryant, United States Magistrate Judge for the Western District of Arkansas.
(ECF No. 23). Judge Bryant recommends that Separate Defendant Danny Russell’s Motion for
Judgment on the Pleadings (ECF No. 15) be denied as moot, but recommends that his Amended
Motion for Judgment on the Pleadings (ECF No. 20) be granted. Plaintiff failed to respond to
either motion. The parties have not filed objections to Judge Bryant’s Report, and the time for
doing so has passed. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1). After reviewing the record de novo, the Court
finds that Judge Bryant’s Report and Recommendation should be adopted in its entirety.
Accordingly, the Court hereby adopts Judge Bryant’s Report and Recommendation, and Separate
Defendant’s Amended Motion for Judgment on the Pleadings (ECF No. 20) is GRANTED.
Separate Defendant’s previous motion (ECF No. 15) is DENIED AS MOOT.
IT IS SO ORDERED, this 28th day of November, 2012.
