1 The Honorable Robert T. Dawson, United States District Judge for the Western District of Arkansas, adopting the report and recommendation of the Honorable Beverly Stites Jones, United States Magistrate Judge for the Western District of Arkansas. John Does. After careful review of the record, we conclude dismissal was warranted under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B) because Mr. Beers’s allegations failed to state a conspiracy claim. See Snelling v.

R. 47A(a).
