ORDER
The Court has received proposed findings and recommendations from United States
Magistrate Judge Joe J. Volpe. No objections have been filed on Plaintiff’s behalf by appointed
counsel; however, Plaintiff has filed a pro se motion to dismiss appointed counsel, and he
requests additional time to file objections. In support of his motion, Plaintiff states specific
objections to the recommended disposition. After careful review of the proposed findings and
recommendations and Plaintiff’s pro se objections, as well as a de novo review of the record, the
Court adopts the proposed findings and recommendations in their entirety.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that Defendant Conrad’s motion for summary judgment
(docket entry #160) is GRANTED and this action is DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE in its
entirety.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Plaintiff’s motion for dismissal of appointed counsel
and extension of time to file additional objections (docket entry #169) is DENIED.
IT IS SO ORDERED THIS 28TH DAY OF MARCH, 2012.
