ORDER APPROVING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
This is a civil action filed by a pro se litigant. Plaintiff filed a Motion for Partial Summary
Judgment (Dkt 17), and Defendants filed a Motion to Seal and for Sanctions (Dkt 23). These
matters were referred to the Magistrate Judge, who issued a Report and Recommendation on
February 27, 2014, recommending that this Court deny Plaintiff’s motion and grant Defendants’
motion. The Report and Recommendation was duly served on the parties. No objections have been
filed pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C). Therefore,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Report and Recommendation of the Magistrate Judge
(Dkt 39) is APPROVED and ADOPTED as the opinion of the Court.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Plaintiff’s Motion for Partial Summary Judgment (Dkt
17) is DENIED for the reasons stated in the Report and Recommendation.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Defendants’ Motion to Seal and for Sanctions (Dkt 23)
is GRANTED for the reasons stated in the Report and Recommendation. Exhibit A to Plaintiff’s
motion for partial summary judgment (Dkt 17-2) shall be STRICKEN and REMOVED from the
docket.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Plaintiff shall pay to Defendants, no later than thirty (30)
days from the date of this Order, two-hundred fifty dollars ($250.00) as sanction for seeking
summary judgment based upon evidence submitted in bad faith. Plaintiff is put on notice that failure
to timely pay this amount may result in dismissal of this action for failure to comply with the Court’s
orders.
