MEMORANDUM ORDER OVERRULING PLAINTIFF’S OBJECTIONS AND
ADOPTING THE MAGISTRATE JUDGE’S REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
Plaintiff Ben Doyle Vaughn, an inmate confined at the Federal Correctional Complex in
Pollock, Louisiana, proceeding pro se, brought this lawsuit against Lt. Robert Strause.
The court referred this matter to the Honorable Zack Hawthorn, United States Magistrate
Judge, at Beaumont, Texas, for consideration pursuant to applicable laws and orders of this court.
The Magistrate Judge recommends plaintiff’s motion for default judgment be denied.
The court has received and considered the Report and Recommendation of United States

requires a de novo review of the objections in relation to the pleadings and the applicable law. See

The court has conducted a de novo review in this case. After careful consideration, the
court concludes Plaintiff’s objections to the report are without merit.
ORDER
Accordingly, Plaintiff’s objections are OVERRULED.

The findings of fact and

conclusions of law of the magistrate judge are correct, and the report of the magistrate judge is

ADOPTED. It is therefore

.
ORDERED that plaintiff’s motion for default judgment is DENIED.
SIGNED at Beaumont, Texas, this 7th day of September, 2004.
