IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT WESTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS HOT SPRINGS DIVISION SHELLY D. WATSON v. PLAINTIFF Case No. 6:16-cv-6060 OFFICE OF ATTORNEY GENERAL et al. DEFENDANTS ORDER Before the Court is the Report and Recommendation filed by Barry A. Bryant, United States Magistrate Judge for the Western District of Arkansas. (ECF No. 4). Judge Bryant recommends that Plaintiff’s Motion for Service (ECF No. 1) be denied. Plaintiff has filed objections (ECF No. 6) and supplemental objections (ECF No. 7) to the Report and Recommendations. The Court finds this matter ripe for its consideration. In her Complaint, Plaintiff is attacking a contempt order entered against her in Garland County, Arkansas and is also challenging her son’s arrest and incarceration. Judge Bryant recommends that Plaintiff’s Motion for Service be denied and her suit be dismissed in its entirety because the contempt order has not been reversed on appeal and her son’s incarceration has not been challenged on appeal. See Heck v. Humphrey, 512 U.S. 477, 486-87 (1994). While Plaintiff has filed objections to the Report and Recommendation, the objections are not directly responsive to the Report and Recommendation and raise no specific objections for the Court to consider. Accordingly, the Court overrules Plaintiff’s objections and adopts Judge Bryant’s Report and Recommendation in toto. For the reasons stated herein and above, as well as those contained in the Report and Recommendation, Plaintiff’s Motion for Service (ECF No. 1) is DENIED. Plaintiff’s case is DISMISSED in its entirety. IT IS SO ORDERED, this 21st day of July, 2016. /s/ Susan O. Hickey Susan O. Hickey United States District Judge
