CIVIL ACTION NO. 14-0250-CG-M

ORDER
After due and proper consideration of the issues raised, and a de novo
determination of those portions of the Recommendation to which objection is made,
the Recommendation of the Magistrate Judge made under 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B)
is adopted as the opinion of this Court, with the following addition.
It is ORDERED that the Motion to Dismiss (Docs. 19-20) is GRANTED as
to the Defendant Monroe County Sheriff’s Department and Defendant Monroe
County Courthouse, and GRANTED as to Defendant Monroe County for all claims
brought against it pursuant to section 1983 and DENIED as to all other claims. It
is further ORDERED that Defendant Monroe County District Attorney’s Motion to
Dismiss (Doc. 29) is GRANTED.
Because only state law claims remain pending against Defendant Monroe

County and the remaining individual defendants, the Court declines to exercise
supplemental jurisdiction over those claims. See 28 U.S.C. § 1367(c)(3). All
remaining claims are therefore DISMISSED.
DONE and ORDERED this 7th day of January, 2016.
/s/ Callie V. S. Granade
UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
