DEFENDANTS
ORDER

Before the Court is the Report and Recommendation filed May 27, 2015 by the Honorable
Barry A. Bryant, United States Magistrate Judge for the Western District of Arkansas. (ECF No.
14). Judge Bryant recommends that the Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss (ECF No. 9) be granted and
that Plaintiff’s Complaint be dismissed for failure to state a claim. Plaintiff has filed objections to
the Report and Recommendation. (ECF No. 17).
After reviewing the record de novo, the Court overrules Plaintiff’s objections1 and adopts
Judge Bryant’s Report and Recommendation as its own. For the reasons stated herein and above,
as well as those contained in the Report and Recommendation (ECF No. 14), Defendants’ Motion
to Dismiss (ECF No. 9) is GRANTED, and Plaintiff’s claims are DISMISSED WITHOUT
PREJUDICE. In accordance with Judge Bryant’s recommendation, the dismissal of this case will
constitute a strike under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g). The Clerk is directed to place a strike flag on the case.
IT IS SO ORDERED, this 5th day of August, 2015.

Plaintiff’s objections repeat the claims made in his Complaint and the arguments made
in his response to the Motion to Dismiss. These issues were thoroughly addressed in the Report
and Recommendation, and the Court will not repeat that analysis here.
