ORDER
Before the Court is the Report and Recommendation filed July 12, 2016, by the Honorable
Barry A. Bryant, United States Magistrate Judge for the Western District of Arkansas. ECF No. 26.
Judge Bryant recommends that Plaintiff’s complaint and supplement (ECF Nos. 1, 7) be dismissed.
Plaintiff has responded with objections, and the Court has reviewed the objections. ECF No.
28. The Court, being well and sufficiently advised, finds that Plaintiff’s objections offer neither law
nor fact requiring departure from the Report and Recommendation. 2 After reviewing the record de
novo, the Court adopts the Report and Recommendation in toto.
Accordingly, Plaintiff’s claims against all Defendants are DISMISSED. The dismissal shall
be counted as a strike for purposes of 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g).
IT IS SO ORDERED, this 5th day of September, 2017.

Eliza Munn appears to be Plaintiff’s mother. Plaintiff, as a pro se litigant, may not sue on behalf of his mother.
See 28 U.S.C. § 1654; see also Steele v. City of Bemidji, 257 F.3d 902, 905 (8th Cir. 2001) (a non-lawyer may not
represent another person or entity in federal court).

The Court notes that Plaintiff’s objections do not address the magistrate judge’s findings that Plaintiff does not
have a constitutionally protected liberty interest in the possibility of parole, that Plaintiff may not use the civil rights
statutes as substitute for habeas corpus relief, and that Defendants Hunt, Vailes, and the Arkansas Parole Board &
Government are immune from suit.
