ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
Before the Court is the Report and Recommendation of United States Magistrate Judge F.
Keith Ball. Docket No. 53. After examining the record evidence in this case, he recommended
granting the summary judgment motions filed by Defendants and denying the summary judgment
motion filed by James Ferguson. Id. Ferguson has objected to the Report and Recommendation.
Docket No. 54.
Having fully reviewed the Report and Recommendation, as well as the arguments
contained in Ferguson’s objection, the Court concludes that the Report and Recommendation is
well-reasoned and legally correct, and therefore overrules the Plaintiff’s objection. The Magistrate
Judge’s Report and Recommendation is adopted fully herein by reference. Accordingly, it is
ordered that Defendants’ motions for summary judgment are granted and that Plaintiff’s motion
for summary judgment is denied. A separate Final Judgment shall issue this day.
SO ORDERED AND ADJUDGED, this the 18th day of September, 2017.

UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
