ORDER ADOPTING THE MAGISTRATE JUDGE’S RECOMMENDATION AND
DENYING PLAINTIFF’S MOTION FOR CONTEMPT
______________________________________________________________________________
Before the Court is Plaintiff Rodney Harper’s Motion for Contempt (ECF No. 38) and
Motion for Hearing (ECF No. 39), both filed on May 7, 2018. The United States Magistrate Judge
entered a report and recommendation on January 25, 2019, recommending that Plaintiff’s Motion
for Contempt be denied. The Magistrate Judge also denied the Motion for Hearing. Pursuant to
Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 72, Plaintiff had fourteen (14) days from the service of the
Magistrate Judge’s report in which to file objections. Plaintiff did not object to the report, and the
time for filing objections has now passed. Having reviewed the report and recommendation de
novo, the Court hereby ADOPTS the Magistrate Judge’s recommendation. Plaintiff’s Motion for
Contempt is DENIED. The Clerk is directed to terminate Plaintiff’s Motion for Hearing, which
the Magistrate Judge denied on January 25, 2019.
