Plaintiff,
CIVIL ACTION NO.: 6:15-cv-29
v.
DR. ENINMWABUEZE; and ROY SABINE,
Medical Director at Georgia State Prison,
Defendants.
ORDER
Presently before the Court is the Magistrate Judge's August 15, 2016, Report and
Recommendation, (doc. 20), to which Plaintiff failed to file Objections. After a de novo review,
the Court concurs with the Magistrate Judge's Report and Recommendation and ADOPTS the
Report and Recommendation as the opinion ofthe Court. The Court GRANTS Defendants'
Motion to Dismiss, DISMISSES Plaintiffs Complaint, and DIRECTS the Clerk of Court to
CLOSE this case and enter the appropriate judgment of dismissal. In addition, the Court
DENIES Plaintiffleave to proceed informa pauperis on appeal.
Plaintiff also filed a Motion for Certificate of Appealability. (Doc. 22.) The Court
DISMISSES Plaintiffs Motion as moot, as a certificate of appealability is not necessary for an
appeal ofthis 42 U.S.C. ยง 1983 action. Further, Plaintiff filed aNotice ofAppeal and his instant
Motion rather than Objections to the Magistrate Judge's Report and Recommendation, despite
being specifically informed that he was not to do so. (Doc. 20, p. 10.) To the extent either of
these pleadings can be deemed Objections to the Magistrate Judge's Report and
Recommendation, the Court OVERRULES Plaintiffs "Objections".
SO ORDERED, this ^?<^dav of September, 2016.
