AMENDED ORDER

SUSAN O. HICKEY, Chief District Judge.

The Court is issuing this amended order to reflect that Plaintiff has alleged an Equal Protection claim against Separate Defendant King.

Before the Court is the Report and Recommendation filed March 15, 2019, by the Honorable James R. Marschewski, United States Magistrate Judge for the Western District of Arkansas. (ECF No. 25). Plaintiff is currently incarcerated in the Miller County Correctional Facility and has filed a Complaint pursuant to U.S.C. 42 § 1983 alleging that he was denied access to medical care in violation of his civil rights. (ECF No. 1). Specifically, Plaintiff alleges that he should have received additional medical care and a bottom bunk assignment because of complications from Sickle Cell disease and from having rods and screws in his leg. Id. Plaintiff—an African-American—has also brought an Equal Protection claim, alleging that his Equal Protection rights were violated because a similarly situated white inmate received a bottom bunk. Id.

On September 25, 2018, Separate Defendants Steven King and Dr. Timothy Reynolds filed their Motion to Dismiss. (ECF No. 8). The Court referred the motion to Judge Marschewski to make a Report and Recommendation. Judge Marschewski recommends that Separate Defendants Steven King and Timothy Reynolds' Motion to Dismiss (ECF No. 9) be granted. Judge Marschewski recommends that Plaintiff's official capacity claims against King and Reynolds be dismissed without prejudice because Plaintiff failed to identify any custom or policy of Southern Health Partners, Inc.— King and Reynolds' employer—which violated his civil rights. Judge Marschewski further recommends that the individual capacity claims against King and Reynolds be dismissed without prejudice because Plaintiff failed to demonstrate deliberate indifference to his medical needs. Finally, Judge Marschewski recommends that Plaintiff's Equal Protection claim against Reynolds be dismissed without prejudice because he has failed to establish a causal link between Reynolds and his bottom bunk assignment.

Plaintiff has timely filed objections to the Report and Recommendation. (ECF No. 31). However, Plaintiff's objections have failed to address any of Judge Marschewski's findings.1 Rather, Plaintiff makes conclusory allegations that Defendants should have known what to do about his Sickle Cell disease and that he was denied medical care and a bottom bunk on the basis of race. Because Plaintiff has failed to make specific objections to the Report and Recommendation, he is not entitled to de novo review by this Court. See U.S.C. § 636(b)(1). Therefore, the Court adopts the Report and Recommendation (ECF No. 25) in toto.

Accordingly, the Court finds that Separate Defendants King and Reynolds' Motion to Dismiss (ECF No. 8) should be and hereby is GRANTED. Plaintiff's official capacity and denial of medical care claims against Defendants King and Reynolds, and his Equal Protection claim against Defendant Reynolds are DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
