Shannon v. Byers et al

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
WESTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS
HOT SPRINGS DIVISION
ROYDELL SHANNON 	PLAINTIFF
v. 	Case No. 6:25-cv-6124
SUPERINTENDENT JAMES BYERS, et al. 	DEFENDANTS
ORDER
Before the Court is a Report and Recommendation (“R&R”) issued by the Honorable Mark
E. Ford, United States Magistrate Judge for the Western District of Arkansas. ECF No. 10. Upon
preservice screening of Plaintiff’s Second Amended Complaint (ECF No. 9) pursuant to 28 U.S.C.
§ 1915A(a), Judge Ford recommends that the Second Amended Complaint be dismissed without
prejudice for failure to state a cognizable claim. Plaintiff filed a timely objection. ECF No. 11.
However, Plaintiff does not address the reasoning of Judge Ford’s R&R. Instead, Plaintiff simply
reiterates allegations and assertions from his pleading. 	Without a specific objection, the Court
need only review the R&R for clear error. See Thompson v. Nix, 897 F.2d 356, 358-59 (8th Cir.
1990).
Upon review, finding no clear error on the face of the record and that Judge Ford’s
reasoning is sound, the Court adopts the R&R (ECF No. 10) in toto. 	Accordingly, Plaintiff’s
Second Amended Complaint (ECF No. 9) is hereby DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE.
IT IS SO ORDERED, this 10th day of April, 2026.
