NUUH AMIR NA'IM #116249 PLAINTIFF v. LOREN STRINGFELLOW, Dentist DEFENDANT
ORDER
D.P. MARSHALL JR. UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
The Court withdraws the reference and grants Dr. Stringfellow's motion for reconsideration, Doc. 37. He is correct: Arkansas law requires exhaustion of Na'im's ACRA and tort claims, too. ARK. CODE ANN. § 16-106-301(a). The Court has and will retain supplemental jurisdiction over those claims, which cover the same period as Na'im's § 1983 claim-25 June 2021 through 28 July 2021. The contrary aspects of this Court's 23 May 2022 Order, Doc. 35, are vacated. The Court returns the case to the Magistrate Judge.
So Ordered.
