Case No. 1:18-cv-00042
JUDGE CAMPBELL
MAGISTRATE JUDGE FRENSLEY

ORDER
Pending before the Court is the Magistrate Judge’s Report and Recommendation
(“R&R”) on Plaintiff’s Motion for Preliminary Injunction (Doc. No. 46) and Motion to Strike
(Doc. No. 71.) The Magistrate Judge recommends that the motions be denied. (Doc. No. 98.)
In the Motion for Preliminary Injunction (Doc. No. 46) Plaintiff seeks an order
requiring Defendants provide him with law books and legal reference materials while he is in
segregation in TCIX. Defendants argued that the motion is moot because Plaintiff has been
transferred to another facility and is no longer housed at TCIX. (Doc. No. 60.) Plaintiff filed
a Motion to Strike Defendant’s Response arguing that the response is “immaterial and
impertinent.” (Doc. No. 71.) The Magistrate Judge recommends denying Plaintiff’s motions.
The Report and Recommendation advised the parties that any objections to the
Magistrate Judge’s findings were to be filed within fourteen days of service. (Doc. No. 98 at
4-5.) No objections were filed.
The Court has reviewed the Report and Recommendation (Doc. No. 98) and concludes
that it should be ADOPTED and APPROVED.

Accordingly, Plaintiffs Motion for a

Preliminary Injunction (Doc. No. 46) and Plaintiff’s Motion to Strike (Doc. No. 71) are
DENIED.
It is so ORDERED.
