ORDER

On October 22, 2015, the Magistrate Judge filed a Recommendation
(Doc. # 77) to which Plaintiff filed an objection (Doc. # 80).

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). Plaintiff’s
arguments do not address or undermine the finding by the Magistrate Judge that
Plaintiff failed to meet the prerequisites necessary to warrant the extraordinary
relief of a preliminary injunction. Accordingly, it is ORDERED as follows:
(1)

Plaintiff’s objection (Doc. # 80) is OVERRULED;

(2)

The Recommendation (Doc. # 77) is ADOPTED;

(3)

Plaintiff’s motions for preliminary injunction (Docs. # 3,4) are

DENIED; and

(4)

This action is REFERRED back to the Magistrate Judge for further

proceedings.
DONE this 20th day of November, 2015.

CHIEF UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
