Case No. 1:13-cv-226
Judge Timothy S. Black
Magistrate Judge Karen L. Litkovitz
DECISION AND ENTRY ADOPTING THE REPORT AND
RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
(Doc. 93)
This case is before the Court pursuant to the Order of General Reference in the
United States District Court for the Southern District of Ohio Western Division to United
States Magistrate Judge Karen L. Litkovitz. Pursuant to such reference, the Magistrate
Judge reviewed the pleadings filed with this Court and, on July 2, 2015, submitted a
Report and Recommendations. (Doc. 93). The Petitioner timely filed objections. (Doc.
100). 1
As required by 28 U.S.C. § 636(b) and Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b), the Court has
reviewed the comprehensive findings of the Magistrate Judge and considered de novo all
of the filings in this matter.
Upon consideration of the foregoing, the Court does
determine that such Report and Recommendations should be and is hereby adopted in its
entirety. Accordingly:
1
Plaintiff’s objections reiterate the arguments set forth in his memorandum contra to the motion for
judgment on the pleadings and in his motion to stay the proceedings (See Docs. 83,91). These arguments
were fully addressed in the Magistrate Judge’s Report and Recommendations. (See Doc. 93). This Court
adopts the Magistrate Judge’s reasoning as explained therein.
1.
The Report and Recommendations (Doc. 93) is ADOPTED;
2.
Plaintiff’s motion to stay (Doc. 91) is DENIED;
3.
Defendants’ motion for judgment on the pleadings (Doc. 65) is
GRANTED;
4.
Defendants’ motion for extension of time (Doc. 101) is DENIED as moot;
and
5.
Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. Section 1915(a)(3), an appeal of this Order would not
be taken in good faith and therefore, Plaintiff is denied leave to appeal in
forma pauperis.
6.
The Clerk shall enter judgment according, whereupon this civil action is
TERMINATED in this Court.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
