ORDER
The magistrate judge filed a report and recommendation on November 12, 2013,
recommending that plaintiff's equal protection and false imprisonment claims be dismissed for
failing to state a claim. It was further recommended that plaintiff's claims of cruel and unusual
punishment, excessive force, and denial of medical care be referred to the magistrate judge for
further proceedings. No objections have been filed by any party.
Having carefully reviewed and considered de novo all the materials in the court file, the Court
is of the opinion that the magistrate judge's report is due to be and is hereby ADOPTED and the
magistrate judge's recommendation is ACCEPTED. It is therefore ORDERED, ADJUDGED, and
DECREED that the plaintiff’s equal protection and false imprisonment claims against the defendants
are DISMISSED pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915A(b). It is further ORDERED that the plaintiff's cruel
and unusual punishment, excessive force, and denial of medical care claims against all defendants
are REFERRED to the magistrate judge for further proceedings.
