Case No. 14-cv-01027-JPG-DGW

Consolidated with:

Case No. 15-cv-00035-JPG-PMF

MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
This matter comes before the Court on Magistrate Judge Wilkerson’s Report and
Recommendation (Doc. 68) pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B), Federal Rule of Civil
Procedure 72(b), and SDIL-LR 72.1 for case management purposes. The Plaintiff has not filed a
response or objections to the R & R.
The Court may accept, reject or modify, in whole or in part, the findings or
recommendations of the magistrate judge in a report and recommendation. Fed. R. Civ. P.
72(b)(3). The Court must review de novo the portions of the report to which objections are
made. The Court has discretion to conduct a new hearing and may consider the record before the
magistrate judge anew or receive any further evidence deemed necessary. Id. “If no objection or
only partial objection is made, the district court judge reviews those unobjected portions for clear

error.” Johnson v. Zema Sys. Corp., 170 F.3d 734, 739 (7th Cir. 1999).
The Court has received no objection to the Report. The Court has reviewed the entire file
and finds that the R & R is not clearly erroneous. Accordingly, the Court hereby ADOPTS the
Report in its entirety (Doc. 68). All pending Motions for Joinder filed by third parties (Docs. 57,
61, 62, 63, 64, 65, and 71), Plaintiff’s Motion for Clarification (Doc. 52), Motion to Obtain
Copies by Verle A. Bowles (Doc. 70), and the Motion for Summary Judgment filed by
Defendants Benton, Bryant, Godinez, and Spiller (Doc. 58) are DENIED without prejudice
pending resolution of the issue of class certification.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
