Wesley v. Kinley

Opinion

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT WESTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS EL DORADO DIVISION

KAIVEN LEMAR WESLEY PLAINTIFF

v. Case No. 1:22-cv-1026

TIFFANY KINLEY, Jail Supervisor, Ouachita County Detention Center, et al. DEFENDANTS

ORDER

Before the Court is a Report and Recommendation issued by the Honorable Barry A. Bryant, United States Magistrate Judge for the Western District of Arkansas. ECF No. 83. Judge Bryant recommends that Plaintiff Kaiven Lemar Wesley’s Motion for Copy of Legal Papers (ECF No. 55) be denied. Plaintiff filed a timely objection (ECF No. 85), but failed to specifically address any aspect of Judge Bryant’s Report and Recommendation or offer any critique of Judge Bryant’s reasoning. Accordingly, the Court reviews the instant Report and Recommendation for clear error instead of conducting a de novo review. See Griffini v. Mitchell, 31 F.3d 690, 692 (8th Cir. 1994) (specific objections shift a court’s review from one which scrutinizes for plain error to one in which the issues are reviewed de novo); and see 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1). Upon review, finding no clear error from the face of the record and that Judge Bryant’s conclusion is sound, the Court adopts the instant Report and Recommendation (ECF No. 83) in toto. Plaintiff’s Motion for Copy of Legal Papers (ECF No. 55) is hereby DENIED. IT IS SO ORDERED, this 19th day of April, 2023.
