IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS NORTHERN DIVISION
JOHN BRANDON PLAINTIFF
Vv. No. 3:20-cv-169-DPM
ROBERT MEYER, Individually, and in his Official Capacity as an Arkansas State Game and Fish Officer DEFENDANT
ORDER Motion to dismiss, Doc. 6, partly granted as modified and partly denied. The amended complaint adds claims for injunctive relief. But it repeats federal and state claims for damages against Meyer in his official capacity. All these damages claims are barred and therefore dismissed without prejudice. Smith v. Arkansas Highway Police, No. 4:13-cv-301-JLH, Doc. 20, at 6-7 & 22 (E.D. Ark. 7 October 2013); Hart v. United States, 630 F.3d 1085, 1091 (8th Cir. 2011). In addition, Brandonr’s state claims for injunctive relief against Meyer in his official capacity are also dismissed without prejudice as barred. Pennhurst State School & Hospital v. Halderman, 465 U.S. 89, 106 (1984). But, Brandon's federal and state claims for a declaratory judgment, and his federal claims for injunctive relief, may proceed. American Re-Insurance Co. v. Janklow, 676 F.2d 1177, 1183 (8th Cir. 1982).
So Ordered. WPnG4LM D.P. Marshall Jr. United States District Judge 18 Avyusf aad
