ORDER
In this civil rights action, Magistrate Judge Frensley has issued a Report and
Recommendation (Doc. No. 36) in which he recommends that Defendant’s unopposed Motion for
Summary Judgment (Doc. No. 28) be granted because (1) Plaintiff’s claims are barred by the statute
of limitations; (2) Defendant is entitled to qualified immunity; and (3) Plaintiff cannot establish that
she suffered a constitutional deprivation. No objections have been filed.
Upon de novo review under Rule 72 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the Court agrees
with the recommended disposition. Accordingly,
(1) The Report and Recommendation (Doc. No. 36) is APPROVED;
(2) Defendant’s Motion for Summary Judgment (Doc. No. 28) is GRANTED;
(3) The Motions in Limine and to Ascertain Status (Doc. Nos. 32, 33, 34, 35) are DENIED
AS MOOT; and
(4) The Pretrial Conference Scheduled for August 24, 2020 at 3:00 p.m., and the trial
scheduled to being on September 1, 2020 are CANCELLED.
The Clerk shall enter a final judgment in accordance with Rule 58 of the Federal Rules of

Civil Procedure and close this case.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
