adopts the Report and Recommendation as the judgment of the Court. The Motions for Summary Judgment [Doc. 56 & 58] of the Defendants Fulton County, Freeman, Hull and Wallace are GRANTED. The Complaint against the Defendant Wyatt is DISMISSED for failure to effectuate service. SO ORDERED, this 25 day of August, 2010. /s/Thomas W. Thrash THOMAS W. THRASH, JR.
