Civil No. 2:14-cv-00291-NT

ORDER AFFIRMING THE
RECOMMENDED DECISION OF THE MAGISTRATE JUDGE
The United States Magistrate Judge filed with the Court on July 28, 2014 his
Recommended Decision (ECF No. 4). The Plaintiff filed a letter with the Court on
September 23, 2014 (ECF No. 6), which the Court views as an Objection to the
Recommended Decision.1
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. It is
therefore ORDERED that the Recommended Decision of the Magistrate Judge is hereby
AFFIRMED.

The Recommended Decision in this case was written by Magistrate Judge John C.
Nivison. In his letter to the Court, Mr. Dudley mistakenly thought the Recommended
Decision was written by United States Judge John Levy. Judge Levy merely recused himself
from acting on this case.

It is further ORDERED that the Plaintiff’s complaint be DISMISSED, and the
Plaintiff’s motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis is DENIED as MOOT.

SO ORDERED.
/s/ Nancy Torresen
UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE

Dated this 1st day of October, 2014.
