ORDER
The Court has received findings and a recommendation from Magistrate Judge Patricia S.
Harris.1 After a careful review of the findings and recommendation, the timely objections received
thereto, and a de novo review of the record, the Court concludes that the findings and
recommendation should be, and hereby are, approved and adopted in their entirety as this Court’s
findings in all respects. The defendants’ motion for summary judgment is granted. (Docket No.
21). The complaint filed by plaintiff Stanley James Carter is dismissed without prejudice, and
judgment will be entered for all of the defendants. The Court certifies that an in forma pauperis
appeal taken from the order and judgment dismissing the action is considered frivolous and not in
good faith.
IT IS SO ORDERED this 25th day of May, 2017.

To clarify for Plaintiff, his statement in his objection that “[n]ow Defendants return with a new magistrate judge”
to rule on their motion for summary judgment is incorrect; Magistrate Judge Harris is the only magistrate who has
been assigned to this case.
