Jeffers v. USA Doc. 18 IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS DELTA DIVISION BRUCE JEFFERS REG #13379-029 v. PLAINTIFF CASE NO. 2:20-CV-00089-BSM UNITED STATES OF AMERICA DEFENDANT ORDER United States Magistrate Judge Patricia Harris’s proposed findings and recommendations [Doc. No. 16] have been received, and are hereby adopted. Bruce Jeffers’s lawsuit cannot proceed because the Inmate Accident Compensation Act (IACA) is the exclusive statutory remedy for a prisoner’s workplace injuries, and as such the court lacks subject matter jurisdiction over his claims. Therefore, the government’s motion to dismiss [Doc. No. 9] is granted and this case is dismissed without prejudice. Jeffers’s motion for the government to turn over requested discovery [Doc. No. 15] is denied as moot. IT IS SO ORDERED, this 4th day of January, 2021. ________________________________ UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE Dockets.Justia.com
