IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
WESTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS
HOT SPRINGS DIVISION
VANDY STOVALL 	PLAINTIFF
v. 	Case No. 6:23-cv-6115
JASON A BROTHERTON 	DEFENDANT
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. 21. Judge
Ford recommends that Defendant’s Motion to Dismiss (ECF No. 16) be granted in part and denied
in part. Specifically, Judge Ford recommends that Plaintiff’s official capacity claim, claim for
compensatory damages, and request for relief in the form of parole be dismissed. Judge Ford
recommends that Defendant’s motion be denied in all other respects.
No party has objected to the R&R, and the time to do so has passed. See 28 U.S.C. §
636(b)(1). 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. 21) in toto. Defendant’s Motion to
Dismiss (ECF No. 16) hereby is GRANTED IN PART and DENIED IN PART. Plaintiff’s
official capacity claim, claim for compensatory damages, and request for relief in the form of
parole are DISMISSED. Defendant’s motion is denied in all other respects.
IT IS SO ORDERED, this 3rd day of January, 2025.
