JUDGMENT

Having considered the file and records in this action, including the Report and
Recommendation of the United States Magistrate Judge and the objections to the Report and
Recommendation, the court finds that the plaintiff’s objections are without merit and that the
Magistrate Judge’s Report and Recommendation should be approved and adopted as the opinion
of the court. It is ORDERED:
1.

That the plaintiff’s objections to the Magistrate Judge’s Report and

Recommendation are OVERRULED;
2.

That the Report and Recommendation of the United States Magistrate Judge is

hereby APPROVED AND ADOPTED as the opinion of the court; and
3.

That defendants Chief Freddie Cannon and Mayor John Cox are DISMISSED

from this case for failure of the plaintiff to state a constitutional question in his allegations against
them.
4.

The plaintiff’s claims against Officer Lloyd Hoover for arrest without probable

cause will, however, PROCEED.
SO ORDERED, this, the 13th day of April, 2018.
