UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN
NORTHERN DIVISION
MICHAEL GRESHAM,
Plaintiff,
v.

Case No. 2:09-cv-231
HON. R. ALLAN EDGAR

JENNIFER M. GRANHOLM, et al,
Defendants.
____________________________________/
ORDER
There are three motions presently before the Court. Plaintiff Michael Gresham moves for
a preliminary injunction under Fed. R. Civ. P. 65. [Court Doc. No. 222]. He moves for the
appointment of counsel to represent him in this civil action. [Court Doc. No. 223]. Plaintiff
Gresham also makes a redundant two-part motion wherein he again moves for a preliminary
injunction and temporary restraining order under Fed. R. Civ. P. 65, and for appointment of counsel.
[Court Doc. No. 225].
On November 14, 2012, Magistrate Judge Timothy P. Greeley submitted his report and
recommendation that all of these motions be denied. [Court Doc. No. 228]. Plaintiff Gresham has
filed objections supported by his affidavit. [Court Doc. Nos. 229, 230]. In his objections, plaintiff
Gresham argues that the Court should immediately issue a preliminary injunction and temporary
restraining order.
After reviewing the record de novo, the Court finds that the plaintiff’s objections [Court Doc.
Nos. 229, 230] are without merit and the objections are DENIED. The Court ACCEPTS and

1

ADOPTS the report and recommendation pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1), Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b),
and W.D. Mich. LCivR 72.3(b). For the reasons expressed in the report and recommendation,
plaintiff Gresham’s motions [Court Doc. Nos. 222, 223, 225] are DENIED.
SO ORDERED.
Date: January 10, 2013.
