ORDER
This civil matter is before the Court on the Report and Recommendation entered
by United States Magistrate H. Bruce Guyton, on June 27, 2016 (the “R&R”) [Doc. 71].
In the R&R, Magistrate Judge Guyton recommends that Defendant’s Motion for Sanction
of Dismissal of Plaintiffs Lakeisha Childers, Ronald Childers and Jeffrey Millsaps [Doc.
54] be granted in part and denied in part. There have been no timely objections to the
R&R, and enough time has passed since the filing of the R&R to treat any objections as
having been waived. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1); Fed. R. Civ. P. 72.
After a careful review of the matter, the Court is in agreement with Magistrate
Judge Guyton’s recommendations, which the Court adopts and incorporates into its
ruling. Accordingly, the Court ACCEPTS IN WHOLE the R&R [Doc. 71]. The Court
hereby GRANTS in part and DENIES in part Defendant’s Motion for Sanction of
Dismissal of Plaintiffs Lakeisha Childers, Ronald Childers and Jeffrey Millsaps [Doc.
54]. The claims by plaintiffs Lakeisha Childers and Ronald Childers are DISMISSED
with prejudice.

The parties have stipulated to the dismissal of plaintiff Jeffrey

Millsaps’s claims [Doc. 70], and the Court has already denied defendant’s request for
reasonable expenses [Doc. 65].
IT IS SO ORDERED.

s/ Thomas A. Varlan
CHIEF UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
