CASE NO. 2:15-CV-728-WKW

ORDER
On January 7, 2016, the Magistrate Judge filed a Recommendation
(Doc. # 25) to which Plaintiff filed an objection (Doc. # 31).

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), and finds
that the objection is without merit.1 Accordingly, it is ORDERED as follows:
(1)

Plaintiff’s objection (Doc. # 31) is OVERRULED;

(2)

The Recommendation (Doc. # 25) is ADOPTED;

(3)

Plaintiff’s motion for a preliminary injunction (Doc. # 19) is

DENIED; and

1

The objection references a potential appeal of the order denying Plaintiff’s motion for a
temporary restraining order (Doc. # 20). However, an order denying a temporary restraining
order is not appealable. See Mitsubishi Int’l Corp. v. Cardinal Textile Sales, Inc., 14 F.3d 1507,
1515 (11th Cir. 1994) (“Final judgments and collateral orders are appealable . . . but non-final
orders are not; preliminary injunctions are appealable but temporary restraining orders are not.”).

(4)

The case is REFERRED back to the Magistrate Judge for further

proceedings.
DONE this 21st day of January, 2016.

CHIEF UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
