ORDER ADOPTING REPORT
AND RECOMMENDATION
Before the court is Magistrate Judge Anthony P. Patti’s report and
recommendation dated December 27, 2017. Magistrate Judge Patti recommends
that the court grant Defendants Teri Taylor-Pedersen, A. Laws Wright, and
Michelle Risley’s motions to dismiss. Specifically, Magistrate Judge Patti
recommends that the court dismiss all claims that Plaintiff brings under 42 U.S.C.
§ 1983 or criminal statutes with prejudice, and all Plaintiff’s state law claims
without prejudice. No objections to the report and recommendation have been
filed.
With respect to reports and recommendations from magistrate judges, this

court “shall make a de novo determination of those portions of the report or
specified proposed findings or recommendations to which objection is made.” 28
U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C). The court “may accept, reject or modify, in whole or in
part, the findings or recommendations made by the magistrate.” Id. With no
objections having been filed, the court finds no basis to disturb the magistrate
judge’s well-supported analysis and conclusions.
Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Magistrate Judge Patti’s
December 27, 2017 report and recommendation is ADOPTED.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Defendants Teri Taylor-Pedersen, A.
Laws Wright, and Michelle Risley’s motions to dismiss are GRANTED.
