Lynch v. LEWIS et al

Filing 27

ORDER adopting 11 Report and Recommendations. Ordered by U.S. District Judge HUGH LAWSON on 5/7/2014. (nbp)

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE MIDDLE DISTRICT OF GEORGIA
VALDOSTA DIVISION

CHRISTOPHER A. LYNCH,
Plaintiff,
Civil Action No. 7:14-CV-24 (HL)

v.
SHARON LEWIS, M.D. and BILLY
NICHOLS, M.D.,
Defendants.

ORDER
This case is before the Court on a Recommendation from United States
Magistrate Judge Thomas Q. Langstaff (Doc. 11), entered March 24, 2014.
Following a preliminary screening pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915A(a), Judge
Langstaff recommends dismissal of Plaintiff’s equal protection claims (Count VII),
state law claims (Count IV), and “Declaration of Human Rights” claims (Count V)
for failure to state a claim.
On April 7, 2014, Plaintiff filed her Objection to Magistrate’s Order on
Motions and Objection to Case Caption (Doc. 17). These objections appear to
address the Magistrate’s March 24, 2014 Order pertaining to various relief
requested by Plaintiff (Doc. 12) and not to the Report and Recommendation
(Doc. 11). Plaintiff did not file objections to the rulings set forth in the
Recommendation.

The Court reviewed the Recommendation and finds no clear error in the
Magistrate Judge’s decision. Accordingly, the Court accepts and adopts the
Recommendation. Plaintiff’s equal protection claims, state law claims, and
“Declaration of Human Rights” claims are dismissed. Plaintiff may proceed with
her Eighth Amendment claims (Counts I, II, III, and VI).
SO ORDERED, this 7th day of May, 2014.

HUGH LAWSON, SENIOR JUDGE
