IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLORADO
Judge R. Brooke Jackson
Civil Action No. 13-cv-01727-RBJ-BNB
RONNIE VAUGHN,
Plaintiff,
v.
D. BERKEBILE, Federal Bureau of Prisons,
Defendant.

ORDER ADOPTING AND AFFIRMING MAY 5, 2014 RECOMMENDATIONS
OF UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE

This matter is before the Court on the May 5, 2014 Recommendation [ECF No. 39] of
Magistrate Judge Boyd N. Boland that the Court grant the motion to dismiss filed by defendant
D. Berkebile, Warden of the United States Prison, Administrative Maximum in Florence,
Colorado (“ADX”). [ECF No. 25.] The Recommendation is incorporated herein by reference.
See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B), Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b).
The Recommendation advised the parties that specific written objections were due within
fourteen (14) days after being served with a copy of the Recommendation. [ECF No. 39.]
Despite this advisement, twenty-four (24) days have passed since the magistrate judge issued the
recommendation, and neither party has filed an objection. “In the absence of timely objection,
the district court may review a magistrate . . . [judge’s] report under any standard it deems
appropriate.” Summers v. Utah, 927 F.2d 1165, 1167 (10th Cir. 1991) (citing Thomas v. Arn,
474 U.S. 140, 150 (1985) (stating that “[i]t does not appear that Congress intended to require
district court review of a magistrate's factual or legal conclusions, under a de novo or any other

standard, when neither party objects to those findings”).
The Court has reviewed all the relevant pleadings concerning the motion to dismiss and
the Recommendation. Based on this review, the Court concludes that the magistrate judge’s
analysis and recommendations are correct, and that “there is no clear error on the face of the
record.” Fed. R. Civ. P. 72 advisory committee’s note. Therefore, the Court ADOPTS the
Recommendation as the findings and conclusions of this Court.
Accordingly, it is ORDERED that the Recommendation of United States Magistrate
Judge, [ECF No. 39], is ACCEPTED and ADOPTED. It is further ORDERED that defendant’s
motion to dismiss [ECF No. 25] be GRANTED, and that this civil action and all remaining
claims therein are DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE.
DATED this 30th day of May, 2014.
BY THE COURT:
