Jeffrey Lee Bonga,
Plaintiff,
Case No. 16-13685
District Judge Sean F. Cox
Magistrate Judge Anthony P. Patti

v.
Badawi Abdellatif, M.D., et. al.,
Defendants.
______________________________/

ORDER ADOPTING AND ACCEPTING REPORT & RECOMMENDATION
Plaintiff Jeffrey Lee Bonga (“Plaintiff”), a prisoner confined in the Michigan Department
of Corrections St. Louis Correctional Facility, filed a pro se complaint against six defendants,
seeking declaratory, injunctive, compensatory, and punitive relief. (Doc. # 1). All pretrial
matters in this case were referred to Magistrate Judge Anthony P. Patti for issuance of a Report
and Recommendation pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B). (Doc. # 9).
Plaintiff has filed two motions for preliminary injunctions in this case. (Docs. # 3, 30).
On May 10, 2017, Magistrate Judge Patti issued a Report and Recommendation (“R&R”) as to
Plaintiff’s motions. In it, Magistrate Judge Patti recommended that the Court deny Plaintiff’s
motions without prejudice.
Pursuant to Civil Rule 72, a party objecting to the recommended disposition of a matter
by a Magistrate Judge must file objections to the R&R within fourteen (14) days after being
served with a copy of the R&R. Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b)(2). “The district judge must determine de
novo any part of the magistrate judge’s disposition that has been properly objected to.” Fed. R.
Civ. P. 72(b)(3).
Neither party has filed objections to the R&R and the time for doing so has passed.

Furthermore, the Court agrees with the Magistrate Judge’s recommendation. Therefore, the
Court hereby ADOPTS the May 10, 2017 R&R. IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that
Plaintiff’s October 13, 2016 motion for preliminary injunction (Doc. # 3) and May 1, 2017
motion for preliminary injunction (Doc. # 30) are DENIED WITHOUT PREJUDICE.
IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: June 6, 2017
