UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT EASTERN DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN SOUTHERN DIVISION MAURICE NEWSON, Plaintiff, v. JOHN T. STEELE, et al., Defendants. ______________________________/ ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION AND DENYING PLAINTIFF'S MOTION FORA TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER AND FOR AN ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE This is a prisoner civil rights case under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiff, proceeding pro se, claims that defendants were deliberately indifferent to his serious medical needs and retaliated against him for filing grievances. The matter was referred to a magistrate judge for pre-trial proceedings. Plaintiff filed a motion for a temporary restraining order (TRO) and for an order to show cause. The magistrate judge issued a report and recommendation (MJRR) recommending that the motion be denied. Neither party has filed objections to the MJRR and the time for filing objections has passed. Having reviewed the MJRR, the Court agrees with the magistrate judge that plaintiff is not entitled to a TRO or an order to show cause. Accordingly, the findings and conclusions of the magistrate judge are adopted as the findings and conclusions of the Court. Plaintiff's motion for a TRO and for an order to show cause is DENIED. SO ORDERED. Case Number: 09-10346 HONORABLE AVERN COHN
