Singleton, United States Magistrate Judge for the Western District of Arkansas. ECF No. 9. Judge Singleton conducted a preservice screening of Plaintiff’s Complaint and found that Plaintiff stated a plausible claim for relief for denial of medical care, unconstitutional conditions of confinement, and violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act against Defendants Tracey Robinson, TKHealth, Sheriff Shawn Holloway, and Benton County, Arkansas. Judge Singleton recommends that Plaintiff’s claims against those Defendants proceed.

Upon review, finding no clear error on the face of the record and that Judge Singleton’s reasoning is sound, the Court adopts the Report and Recommendation (ECF No. 9) in toto. Accordingly, the Court finds that all claims against Defendants Dr. David Sitzes, Nurse Curtis, Nurse Crystal, Nurse Whitney, Capt. Harold Gage, Capt. Andy Lee, Jr., Chief Deputy Meyer Gilbert, Major Kenneth Paul, M ajor Robert Bersi, Medical Lt. John Doe, Lt. Greg PageID #: <pageID> 2 Hobelmann, Lt. Kurt Banta, and Lt.
