C ivil Action No. 5 :0 9 -C V -2 0 3 (HL)

ORDER B e fo re the Court is the Report and Recommendation ("R&R") (Doc. 8) of U ni te d States Magistrate Judge Claude W . Hicks, Jr. The R&R recommends d i s m i s s i ng Plaintiff's claim against Bruce Chatman as failing to state a claim on w hi c h relief may be granted. The R&R also recommends dismissing Plaintiff's

c la im for injunctive relief as being moot. Plaintiff has filed an Objection (Doc. 11). P ur s ua nt to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1), the Court has thoroughly considered Plaintiff's O b j e c ti o n and has made a de novo determination of the portion of the R&R to which he objects. After close consideration, the Court accepts and adopts the findings,

c o nc l us i o ns , and recommendations of the Magistrate Judge. The R&R (Doc. 8) is a d o p te d and made the order of this Court. The Court notes that this order in no way a l te rs the Magistrate Judge's order of September 11, 2009, (Doc. 16), in which the M a g i s tra te Judge granted Plaintiff's Motion to Amend to include, among other things, c l a i m s against Bruce Chatman and for injunctive relief. S O ORDERED, this the 16th day of September, 2009.
