ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATIONS

LADONNA THOMPSON, ET AL.

DEFENDANTS

**** **** **** ****
This matter is before the Court upon the March 1, 2016 Report and
Recommendation (“R&R”) of United States Magistrate Judge Edward B. Atkins, (Doc. #
30), wherein he recommends that the Court dismiss all claims against Deputy Wendling in
the Original Complaint and in the “Complaint Under Bivens Action” (Doc. # 29), and dismiss
the “Complaint Under Bivens Action” in its entirety. No objections having been filed and
the time to do so having now expired, the R&R is ripe for the Court’s consideration.1 The
Court having reviewed the R&R, and concluding that it is sound in all respects, and being
otherwise sufficiently advised,
IT IS ORDERED as follows:
(1)

The Report and Recommendation (Doc. # 30) is hereby adopted as the

findings of facts and conclusions of law of the Court;

1

On March 9, 2016, Plaintiff Preston Ritter filed another document entitled “Complaint Under
Bivens Action,” wherein he states “New Motions 3-8-16" and then lists no less than
seventeen (17) random statutes, rules, and docket entries. (Doc. # 31). However, the Court
cannot make heads-or-tails of this filing and, even liberally construed, it cannot reasonably
be construed as objections to the R&R.
1

(2)

Plaintiff’s claims against Defendant Wendling are dismissed with prejudice;

(3)

Plaintiff’s “Complaint Under Bivens Action” (Doc. # 29) is dismissed; and

(4)

This action is stricken from the Court’s active docket.

This 19th day of April, 2016.
