Pinder v. Rechcigl

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS DELTA DIVISION STEVEN PINDER ADC #123397 PLAINTIFF No. 2:20-cv-47-DPM-JJV GREG REICHQL, Health Services Administrator, EARU; JAMES KELLEY, Health Services, Administrator, Varner Unit; T. BENNETT, Practice Nurse, EARU; and RORY GRIFFIN, Assistant Director, ADC DEFENDANTS ORDER On de novo review, the Court adopts Magistrate Judge Volpe’s partial recommendation, Doc. 57, and overrules Pinder’s objections, Doc. 65. FED. R. Civ. P. 72(b)(3). As the Magistrate Judge noted, courts must view prisoners’ requests for injunctive relief “with great caution” because of the complexities involved in prison administration. Goff v. Harper, 60 F.3d 518, 520 (8th Cir. 1995). Viewed with that caution, the balance of factors does not support a preliminary injunction. Pinder’s motion is therefore denied. Doc. 53. Given the nature of Pinder’s glaucoma-related claims, if he exhausted his administrative remedies on any of those claims, the Court requests Magistrate Judge Volpe to adjust the Scheduling Order and make a recommendation as soon as practicable on whether a trial on the merits is needed.

So Ordered.
