Case No. 18-cv-0723-MJR-GCS

MEMORANDUM & ORDER
REAGAN, Chief Judge:
In April 2018, Plaintiff Ricky Ryder filed suit alleging that Defendants were
deliberately indifferent to his serious medical needs related to his knee and back pain and
to an eye condition. He seeks a preliminary injunction ordering Defendants to (1) retrieve
his medical records from Barnes Hospital; (2) arrange for an optometrist to evaluate and
diagnose his eye issues; and (3) treat his ongoing knee and back pain. On December 12,
2018, Magistrate Judge Stephen C. Williams issued a Report & Recommendations (Doc.
45) recommending that the undersigned deny Ryder’s motion for preliminary injunction.
The report clearly stated that any objections were due on or before January 2, 2019. That
deadline has passed, and no party has filed objections. As a result, the undersigned need
not conduct a de novo review of the Report & Recommendations. See 27 U.S.C. §
636(b)(1).

The undersigned District Judge ADOPTS in its entirety the Report &
Recommendations (Doc. 45) submitted by Magistrate Judge Williams and DENIES
Plaintiff Ricky Ryder’s motion for preliminary injunction (Doc. 10).
IT IS SO ORDERED.
