Case No. 1:14-CV-130
Judge Curtis L. Collier

JUDGMENT ORDER
Pro se Plaintiff Robert G. Modrall (“Plaintiff”) filed a complaint against Defendants
Hamilton County, Tennessee, the State of Tennessee, the FBI, and the U.S. Attorney’s Office
(“Defendants”) (Court File No. 1) along with a motion to proceed in forma pauperis (“IFP”) (Court
File No. 2). Magistrate Judge Susan K. Lee allowed Plaintiff to amend these filings to fix
deficiencies in them (Court File No. 3). Plaintiff subsequently filed an amended complaint (Court
File No. 4) and a new motion for IFP (Court File No. 5).
The Magistrate Judge filed a report and recommendation (“R&R”) concluding that (1)
Plaintiff has not shown insufficient funds such that he would be entitled him to IFP status and (2)
Plaintiff’s amended complaint is frivolous and fails to state a claim upon which relief may be
granted.1 Plaintiff has not filed an objection to the R&R within the allotted time. Accordingly, the
Court ACCEPTS and ADOPTS the magistrate judge’s R&R (Court File No. 6) pursuant to 28
U.S.C. § 636(b)(1), DENIES Plaintiff’s IFP motion (Court File No. 2), and DIRECTS the Clerk
of Court to CLOSE the case.

He seeks relief in the form of “restitution in the amount of $100 million, a Presidential
Medal of Freedom with Distinction, and a Nobel Peace Prize” (Court File No. 5, p. 22).

SO ORDERED.
