JEREMY KENNEDY ADC #093061 PLAINTIFF v. JACKSON COUNTY, ARKANSAS; et al. DEFENDANTS
ORDER
On October 30, 2023, United States Magistrate Judge Joe J. Volpe submitted a Partial Recommended Disposition suggesting Defendants Rudisill and Nance be dismissed without prejudice because Plaintiff's claims against them are barred by the Heck doctrine. (Doc. 12.) Thereafter, Plaintiff filed a Motion seeking permission to file a Third Amended Complaint: (1) abandoning his claims against Defendants Rudisill and Nance; (2) continuing his claims against Defendants Jackson County, Tubbs, Cooper, Huddleston, Clark, Sisk, and Dodson; and (2) adding a medical care claim against Dr. Darrell Elkin. (Doc. 15.) I find good cause for granting the Motion. See Fed.R.Civ.P. 15(a)(2).
Therefore, Plaintiff's Motion to Amend the Complaint (Doc. 15) is GRANTED, and the Clerk shall file the proposed amended complaint (Doc. 15, Ex. 1) as Plaintiff Third Amended Complaint. The Partial Recommended Disposition (Doc. 12) is DECLINED as moot. Defendants Nance and Rudisill are DISMISSED without prejudice. It is certified, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3), that an in forma pauperis appeal from this Order would not be taken in good faith.
