DEFENDANTS

ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
Before the Court is Plaintiff Charles Smith’s Objection to the June 7, 2019, Report and
Recommendation (“R&R”) of United States Magistrate Judge Linda R. Anderson, regarding the
defendants’ Motion for Summary Judgment. The R&R recommends that the defendants’ Motion
be granted and that final judgment in favor of all defendants be entered.
Having considered the Report and Recommendation, Smith’s objections thereto, and
applicable statutory and case law, the Court concludes that Smith’s Objection fails to persuade
and hereby adopts, as its own opinion, the Report and Recommendation of the Magistrate Judge.
Accordingly, the defendants’ Motion for Summary Judgment is granted. Smith’s
Complaint is dismissed without prejudice. A separate Final Judgment will issue this day.
SO ORDERED, this the 4th day of November, 2019.
