IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
WESTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS
FAYETTEVILLE DIVISION
DESTIN ALLEN LEWIS 	PLAINTIFF
V. 	CASE NO. 5:25-CV-5117
STATE OF ARKANSAS and
BENTON COUNTY 	DEFENDANTS
ORDER
Comes on for consideration the Report and Recommendation (“R&R”) (Doc. 50)
filed in this case on February 2, 2026, by the Honorable Christy Comstock, United States
Magistrate Judge for the Western District of Arkansas. No party filed objections to the
R&R, and the time to file objections has now passed.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the R&R is ADOPTED IN ITS ENTIRETY. The
Declaratory Judgment Act affords Lewis no avenue of relief from his criminal judgment.
Because his current pleadings provide no cognizable basis for challenging his state court
judgment, the Complaint is DISMISSED.
IT IS SO ORDERED on this 23 rd day of February, 2026.
