DEFENDANTS

ORDER
Before the Court is the Report and Recommendation filed November 6, 2012 by the
Honorable Barry A. Bryant, United States Magistrate Judge for the Western District of Arkansas.
(ECF No. 22). Judge Bryant recommends that Separate Defendant Tom Cooper’s Motion to
Dismiss (ECF No. 17) be granted because he is entitled to judicial immunity and because
Plaintiff failed to state a claim upon which relief may be granted. The parties have not filed
objections to Judge Bryant’s Report, and the time for doing so has passed. See 28 U.S.C. §
636(b)(1). After reviewing the record de novo, the Court finds that Judge Bryant’s Report and
Recommendation should be adopted in its entirety. Accordingly, the Court hereby adopts Judge
Bryant’s Report and Recommendation, and Separate Defendant Motion to Dismiss is
GRANTED. Plaintiff’s claims against Tom Cooper are DISMISSED.
IT IS SO ORDERED, this 28th day of November, 2012.
