No. 1:17-cv-00007

ORDER
The Magistrate Judge has entered a Report and Recommendation that recommends Doreen
Trafton’s unopposed Motion to Dismiss be granted because, “[e]ven when Plaintiff’s factual
allegations are taken as true and are given the most generous reading, [Plaintiff’s] allegations are
simply inadequate to support constitutional claims upon which relief can be granted against Defendant
Trafton.” (Doc. No. 22 at 4). No objections have been filed to the Report and Recommendation.
Having considered the record de novo as required by Rule 72 of the Federal Rules of Civil
Procedure, the Court agrees with the Magistrate Judge’s observation about the lack of sufficient facts
to support a claim against Trafton, as well as the recommended disposition. Accordingly, the Report
and Recommendation (Doc. No. 22) is ADOPTED, Trafton’s Motion to Dismiss (Doc. No. 10) is
GRANTED, and that Defendant is DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE.
This matter is returned to the Magistrate Judge for further pretrial case management.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
