Plaintiff,
v.
STEVE ROBERTS, et al.,
Defendants.

CIVIL ACTION NO. 5:11-CV-117 (MTT)

ORDER
This matter is before the Court on the Recommendation of United States
Magistrate Judge Charles H. Weigle. (Doc. 47). The Magistrate Judge, having
reviewed the Defendants’ Motion for Summary Judgment, recommends GRANTING the
Motion because the Plaintiff failed to demonstrate a genuine issue of material fact, and
because the Defendants are entitled to judgment as a matter of law on the Plaintiff’s
claims. (Doc. 47 at 1).
On August 3, 2011, the Plaintiff advised all parties that he was obtaining counsel,
Attorney Delisa Williams. (Doc. 21). On March 27, 2012, Williams filed a Motion to
Amend/Correct and stated “Plaintiff has now retained counsel, Delisa Williams, to
represent him in this action.” (Doc. 44). Despite having retained counsel, the Plaintiff
failed to respond to the Defendants’ Motion for Summary Judgment and failed to object
to the Magistrate Judge’s Recommendation.
The Court has reviewed the Recommendation. The Court accepts and adopts
the findings, conclusions and recommendations of the Magistrate Judge. The

Recommendation is adopted and made the order of this Court. The Defendants’ Motion
for Summary Judgment is GRANTED.
The Court directs the Clerk to mail a copy of this Order to the Plaintiff.
SO ORDERED, this the 3rd day of August, 2012.
