Commissioner BRIAN OWENS, et al.,
Defendants.

CIVIL ACTION NO. 5:14-CV-426 (MTT)

ORDER
Before the Court is the Recommendation of United States Magistrate Judge
Stephen Hyles. (Doc. 6). The Magistrate Judge recommends denying the Plaintiff’s
motion for a temporary restraining order and a preliminary injunction (Doc. 5) because
the Plaintiff has not shown a substantial likelihood of success on the merits of his
underlying claims, nor has he satisfied the irreparable injury requirement. The Plaintiff
has objected to the Recommendation. (Doc. 8). Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1), the
Court has reviewed the Recommendation and the Plaintiff’s objection and has made a
de novo determination of the portions of the Recommendation to which the Plaintiff
objects. The Court accepts the findings, conclusions, and recommendations of the
Magistrate Judge. Thus, the Recommendation is ADOPTED and made the order of this
Court. Accordingly, the Plaintiff’s motion for a temporary restraining order and a
preliminary injunction (Doc. 5) is DENIED.
SO ORDERED, this 23rd day of March, 2015.
