CASE NO. 2:16-CV-1005-WKW
[WO]

ORDER
On January 31, 2017, the Magistrate Judge filed a Recommendation (Doc.
# 7) to which Plaintiff timely filed objections (Docs. # 8.) The court has conducted
an independent and de novo review of those portions of the Recommendation to
which objections are made, see 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1). In the Recommendation, the
Magistrate Judge recommended the denial of Plaintiff’s motion for preliminary
injunction (Doc. # 1), reasoning that Plaintiff had failed to show irreparable injury
(Doc. # 7). Similarly, the Magistrate Judge found that Plaintiff’s failure to propose
a remedy made it impossible to determine what burden an injunction would place on
the Alabama Department of Corrections and whether such an injunction would be in
the public interest. (Doc. # 7.) To the extent Plaintiff objects to these findings, his
objection is without merit and is due to be overruled. (Doc. # 8.)

Accordingly, it is ORDERED as follows:
1.

Plaintiff’s objection (Doc. # 8) is OVERRULED;

2.

The Recommendation (Doc. # 7) is ADOPTED;

3.

Plaintiff’s motion for preliminary injunction (Doc. # 1) is DENIED;

4.

The matter is REFERRED to the Magistrate Judge for additional

and

proceedings.
DONE this 14th day of March, 2017.
