IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE MIDDLE DISTRICT OF GEORGIA
VALDOSTA DIVISION
ADAM WADE CRUTCHLEY,
Plaintiff,

Case No. 7:22-CV-103 (HL)

v.
Captain CLIFTON, et al.,
Defendants.
ORDER
United States Magistrate Judge Thomas Q. Langstaff recommends denying
Plaintiff Adam Wade Crutchley’s motion for a temporary restraining order. (Doc.
7.) Crutchley sought a temporary restraining order to prevent Defendants Clifton
and Paulk from retaliating against Crutchley for his pending lawsuits. (Doc. 5.)
The Magistrate Judge recommends denying Crutchley’s motion because
Crutchley did not address the factors that determine whether a temporary
restraining order is warranted, the defendants have not had the opportunity to
respond to Crutchley’s allegations, and temporary restraining orders which merely
order defendants to follow existing laws are impermissible. (Doc. 7 at 2.)
Crutchley has not objected to the Recommendation, so pursuant to 28
U.S.C. § 636(b)(1), the Court reviews the Recommendation (Doc. 7) for clear error.

Case 7:22-cv-00103-HL-TQL Document 10 Filed 01/18/23 Page 2 of 2

Finding none, the Court accepts and adopts the findings, conclusions, and
recommendations of the Magistrate Judge.
The Recommendation (Doc. 7) is ADOPTED and made the Order of the
Court. Crutchley’s motion for a temporary restraining order (Doc. 5) is DENIED.
SO ORDERED this 18th day of January, 2023.
