CASE NO. 2:16-CV-834-WKW
[WO]

ORDER
Before the court is Plaintiff Samuel Allan McCormick’s Objection to the
Magistrate Judge’s Orders (Doc. # 6), in which Plaintiff objects to the Magistrate
Judge’s dismissal of the City of Florala as a respondent in this action (Doc. # 4), as
well as the Magistrate’s order that Plaintiff submit the proper paperwork to support
his motion to proceed in forma pauperis (Doc. # 5). Upon careful consideration of
the objection (Doc. # 6), it is ORDERED that the objection is OVERRULED
inasmuch as the order of dismissal (Doc. # 4) is neither clearly erroneous nor
contrary to law. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(a). Insofar as Plaintiff objects to the
Magistrate Judge’s order directing Plaintiff to include a prison account statement
from the account clerk at Limestone Correctional Facility with his in forma pauperis

application, it is further ORDERED that the objection is OVERRULED as moot.
Plaintiff has resubmitted a proper in forma pauperis application that contains this
information (Doc. # 7), and the application has been granted (Doc. # 8).
DONE this 21st day of November, 2016.

CHIEF UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
