Jones v. Johnson County Sheriff et al

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
WESTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS
FORT SMITH DIVISION
AIDEN JONES 	PETITIONER
V. 	CASE NO. 2:25-CV-2163
SHERIFF TOM HUGHES
(Johnson County Sheriff,
in his official capacity as custodian); and
STATE OF ARKANSAS 	RESPONDENTS
ORDER
Comes on for consideration the Report and Recommendation (“R&R”) (Doc. 13)
filed in this case on March 6, 2026, by the Honorable Mark E. Ford, 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 ORDERED that the R&R is ADOPTED IN ITS ENTIRETY, and the Motion
to Dismiss Plaintiff’s Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus by the State of Arkansas (Doc.
10) is GRANTED. Jones pleaded guilty to violating the conditions of a suspended
imposition of sentence, which required that he have no contact with several
individuals and their families. His guilty plea and subsequent sentencing mooted his
habeas petition, which only requested relief from the conditions of pre-hearing release.
The Petition is therefore DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE.
IT IS SO ORDERED on this 24th day of March, 2026.
