CASE NO. 2:13-cv-550-TMH
[wo]

OPINION and ORDER
On September 18, 2013, the Magistrate Judge filed a Recommendation in which
the court denied the plaintiff’s Motion for Class Certification. (Doc. No. 16). On
October 7, 2013, this court also entered a Recommendation to grant the defendants’
Motion to Dismiss and deny the Plaintiff’s Motion to Dismiss as moot. (Doc. No. 28).
The court recommended dismissing the case as moot because the action was filed by the
plaintiff in order to be restored to eligibility for consideration for parole. The Magistrate
Judge concluded there is no longer a case or controversy to litigate and the case is due to
be dismissed as moot. No objections have been filed to the Recommendation of the
Magistrate Judge. Upon an independent review of the file in this case and upon
consideration of the Recommendations of the Magistrate Judge, it is
ORDERED and ADJUDGED as follows:
(1) The Recommendations of the Magistrate Judge be and are hereby ADOPTED.
(Doc. No. 16 & 28).

(2) The Plaintiff’s Motion for Class Certification be DENIED. (Doc. No. 1).
(3) The Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss the complaint as Moot be GRANTED.
(Doc. No. 23).
(4) The Plaintiff’s Motion to Dismiss be DENIED as moot. (Doc. No. 25).
(5) This case be DISMISSED as moot and no costs be taxed herein.
DONE this 1st day of November, 2013.
