CASE NO. 2:15-CV-010-WKW

ORDER
On March 26, 2015, the Magistrate Judge filed a Recommendation (Doc. #
21), to which Plaintiff Sadaka Davis has filed a timely Objection (Doc. # 22). The
court has conducted an independent and de novo review of those portions of the
Recommendation to which objection is made. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b).
In his Objection, Mr. Davis reasserts his contention that Defendant Derrick
Bone forced his way into Mr. Davis’s home, refused to show him eviction papers,
and ultimately violated Mr. Davis’s right to due process of law by removing Mr.
Davis’s possessions from the home. (Doc. # 22, at 1.) Mr. Davis’s Objection is due
to be overruled because he fails to allege any specific errors with regard to the
Magistrate Judge’s Recommendation and instead reasserts the arguments contained
in his Complaint. Further, while Mr. Davis states that Defendant Bone failed to
provide Mr. Davis with eviction papers, identification, or “bond company”, Mr.

Davis previously acknowledged that Defendant Bone showed him a copy of a courtordered writ of possession, a writ of possession that stemmed from an underlying
state court proceeding in which Mr. Davis fully participated.
Accordingly, it is ORDERED as follows:
1.

Mr. Davis’s Objection (Doc. # 22) is OVERRULED.

2.

The Recommendation (Doc. # 21) is ADOPTED.

3.

Mr. Bone’s Motion for Summary Judgment (Doc. # 10) is GRANTED.

4.

Mr. Davis’s § 1983 due process claim is DISMISSED with prejudice.

An appropriate final judgment will be entered separately.
DONE this 8th day of April, 2015.
/s/ W. Keith Watkins
CHIEF UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
