ORDER
The Court has reviewed the Proposed Findings and Recommended Partial Disposition
submitted by United States Magistrate Judge Joe J. Volpe. No objections have been filed. After
careful consideration, the Court concludes that the Proposed Findings and Recommended
Disposition should be, and hereby are, approved and adopted in their entirety as this Court’s findings
in all respects.
IT IS, THEREFORE, ORDERED that:
1.
Brown’s claim for monetary damages from Defendants in their official capacities is
DISMISSED because the doctrine of sovereign immunity protects the Defendants against such
relief.
2.
Brown fails to state a claim against Defendants Hobbs and Does and they are
DISMISSED as defendants in this action.
DATED this 3rd day of January, 2012.
J. LEON HOLMES
