BENJAMIN WADE GENTRY et al.,
Defendants.
_____________________________/
ORDER DISMISSING THE CLAIMS AGAINST THE
DEFENDANTS CITY OF PENSACOLA, ESCAMBIA
COUNTY, JUDGE YOUNG, AND MS. WARRICK
This case is before the court on the magistrate judge’s report and
recommendation, ECF No. 61, and the objections, ECF No. 62. I have reviewed de
novo the issues raised by the objections. The claims against the defendants City of
Pensacola, Escambia County, Judge Charles Young, and Jolie Warrick should be
dismissed for the reasons set out in the report and recommendation. This makes it
unnecessary to reach the other grounds for dismissal.
Upon consideration,

Case No. 3:23cv4689-RH-ZCB
