ORDER AFFIRMING THE
RECOMMENDED DECISION OF THE MAGISTRATE JUDGE

The United States Magistrate Judge filed with the Court on December 11, 2014, his
Recommended Decision (ECF No. 6). Plaintiffs filed their Objection to the Recommended Decision
(ECF No. 7) on December 24, 2014.
I have reviewed and considered the Magistrate Judge's Recommended Decision, together
with the entire record; I have made a de novo determination of all matters adjudicated by the
Magistrate Judge's Recommended Decision; and I concur with the recommendations of the United
States Magistrate Judge for the reasons set forth in his Recommended Decision, and determine that
no further proceeding is necessary.
1.

It is therefore ORDERED that the Recommended Decision of the Magistrate Judge
is hereby AFFIRMED.

2.

It is hereby ORDERED that Plaintiffs’ claims against Defendants Porier, LaPrade,
Kelly, Weir, Tracy Patton, Wayne Patton, Sanborn, Thomas Chisholm, Samuel
Chisolm, Gilley, Jr. and John Doe #1 through John Doe #5 are DISMISSED for
failure to state a claim against them pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B).
