Plaintiff,
v.

SHARA BIGGS, ET AL.,

Civil No. 3:14-cv-01068
Judge Trauger

Defendant.
ORDER
On August 8, 2016, the magistrate judge issued a Report and Recommendation (Docket
No. 131), to which the plaintiff filed two documents in response (Docket Nos. 145, 146). The
court originally interpreted these documents as objections to the Report and Recommendation,
and Responses were filed (Docket Nos. 150, 151). In fact, in both of these documents, the
plaintiff agrees with the magistrate judge’s recommendation to deny his second Motion to
Amend his complaint (Docket No. 74).
For these reasons, it is hereby ORDERED that the Report and Recommendation is
ACCEPTED and made the findings of fact and conclusions of law of this court. For the reasons
expressed therein, it is hereby ORDERED that the plaintiff’s second Motion to Amend his
complaint (Docket No. 74) is DENIED.
This case is returned to the magistrate judge for further handling under the original
referral order. The court notes that, among other pending matters, a Motion to Dismiss filed by
defendant Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County, on March 23, 2016
(Docket No. 105) is still pending.
It is so ORDERED.
ENTER this 8th day of September 2016.
