Boyd v. Rechcigl

Opinion

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS CENTRAL DIVISION

MICHAEL L. BOYD PLAINTIFF ADC #115890

Vv. No. 4:20-cv-129-DPM

GREGORY RECHCIGL, Health Services Administrator, East Arkansas Regional Unit; TAMMY KIMBLE, Assistant Health Services Administrator, East Arkansas Regional Unit; GARY KERSTEIN, Doctor, East Arkansas Regional Unit; and PATRICK DRUMMOND, APN, Correct Care Solutions DEFENDANTS

ORDER On de novo review, the Court adopts Magistrate Judge Volpe’s recommendation, Doc. 168, and overrules Boyd’s objections, Doc. 176. FED. R. CIV. P. 72(b)(3). Boyd continues in his objections to question the treatment he received for ulcerative colitis; he doesn’t dispute that he received treatment. To make out a constitutional violation, he must present more than a difference of opinion. Barr v. Pearson, 909 F.3d 919, 921-22 (8th Cir. 2018). He has failed to do so. The motion for summary judgment, Doc. 147, is granted. Boyd’s deliberate indifference claims against Rechcigl, Kimble, Kerstein and Drummond will be dismissed with prejudice. An in forma pauperis appeal from this Order and

accompanying Judgment would not be taken in good faith. 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3). So Ordered. 4antoll D.P. Marshall Jr. United States District Judge 31 Meanch 2022-
