Civ. No. 4:13-CV-01636
(Judge Brann)
(Magistrate Judge Schwab)

ORDER
July 9, 2014
BACKGROUND:
The undersigned has given full and independent consideration to the April
21, 2014 report and recommendation of Magistrate Judge Susan E. Schwab. ECF
No. 17. Neither Plaintiff nor Defendant filed responses or objections, which were
due by May 8, 2014. Consequently, the matter is ripe for disposition.
Because this Court agrees with Magistrate Judge Schwab’s analysis, the
Court will not rehash the sound reasoning of the magistrate judge and will adopt
the report and recommendation in its entirety.

NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT:
1.

United States Magistrate Judge Susan E. Schwab’ s Report and
Recommendation is ADOPTED in full (ECF No. 17)

2.

Plaintiff’s claims against Defendant Richard E. Martin are
DISMISSED with prejudice and Defendant Martin is DISMISSED
from the action.

3.

Plaintiff’s claims against Defendant Bruce Blocker are DISMISSED
with prejudice and Defendant Blocker is DISMISSED from the
action.

4.

The case is remanded to Magistrate Judge Schwab for further
proceedings.
