IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE
NORTHERN DISTRICT OF MISSISSIPPI
OXFORD DIVISION
WILLIE E. COWANS
vs.
PLAINTIFF
CIVIL ACTION NO. 3:15-CV-077-MPM-JMV
STATE OF MISSISSIPPI, GLEN HALEY, NORTH
CENTRAL ELECTRIC POWER ASSOCIATION,
and DESOTO COUNTY SHERIFF’S DEPARTMENT
DEFENDANTS
ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
On consideration of the record of this action, the court finds that the Report and
Recommendation [16] of the United States Magistrate Judge dated December 7, 2015, was on that
date duly mailed to pro se plaintiff via USPS; that more than fourteen days have elapsed since service
of said Report and Recommendation; and that while objections thereto have been filed by Plaintiff,
such objections are meritless. Plaintiff filed a 15-page [17] Motion to Object to Dismissal, which
included nothing more than the same miscellaneous copies of a variety of documents that made up
Plaintiff’s previously filed [1] original complaint, [3] amended complaint, and [14] second amended
complaint. The miscellaneous documents constituting [17] Plaintiff’s Motion to Object to Dismissal
remain just a reshuffled copy of the documents previously filed in this action and a duplicate action
filed in this court (see, 3:15-cv-101-MPM-JMV)) lacking, as discussed in the Report and
Recommendation, any assertion of a properly stated claim or basis for this court to exercise
jurisdiction.
The court is of the opinion that the magistrate judge's Report and Recommendation should be
approved and adopted as the opinion of the court. It is, therefore,
ORDERED:
1. That the Report and Recommendation of the United States Magistrate Judge dated
December 7, 2015, is hereby approved and adopted as the opinion of the court.
2. That the case is hereby DISMISSED for lack of subject matter jurisdiction and failure to
adequately state a claim.
3. That this case is hereby CLOSED.
THIS, the 7th day of January, 2016.
/s/ MICHAEL P. MILLS
UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
NORTHERN DISTRICT OF MISSISSIPPI
