JAIL ADMINISTRATOR CAMERON
OWENS; SHERIFF JONATHON TUBBS;
and OFFICER PAYTON POTTER 	DEFENDANTS
ORDER
Before the Court is a Report and Recommendation filed on March 19, 2026, by the
Honorable Spencer G. Singleton, United States Magistrate Judge for the Western District of
Arkansas. 	(ECF No. 53). 	Judge Singleton recommends that Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss
Plaintiff’s complaint for failure to prosecute (ECF No. 51) be granted. (ECF No. 53, at 3).
Plaintiff has not responded to the Report and Recommendation, 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 Singleton’s reasoning is sound, the Court adopts the Report and Recommendation
(ECF No. 53) in toto. Accordingly, the Court finds that Defendant’s Motion to Dismiss (ECF No.
51) is GRANTED. Plaintiff’s Complaint is DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE.
IT IS SO ORDERED, this 7th day of April, 2026.
