ORDER
Before the court is Defendant Joseph Capps, M.D.’s Motion to Dismiss (Doc. 64), filed
March 8, 2016. On September 29, 2016, Magistrate Judge Renée Harris Toliver entered the
Findings, Conclusions, and Recommendation of the United States Magistrate Judge (“Report”),
recommending that the court grant Defendant Joseph Capps, M.D.’s (“Dr. Capps”) motion to
dismiss, dismiss with prejudice Plaintiff’s claim against Dr. Capps for alleged Eighth Amendment
constitutional violations, and not allow Plaintiff a further opportunity to amend his pleadings.
Plaintiff filed objections to the Report, which were docketed on October 14, 2016.
Having reviewed the file, record in this case, and Report, and having conducted a de novo
review of that portion of the Report to which objection was made, the court determines that the
findings and conclusions of the magistrate judge are correct, and accepts them as those of the court.
Accordingly, the court overrules Plaintiff’s objections, grants Defendant Joseph Capps, M.D.’s
Motion to Dismiss (Doc. 64), and dismisses with prejudice Plaintiff’s claim against Dr. Capps for
alleged Eighth Amendment constitutional violations. Further, the court expressly determines,
pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 54(b), that there is no just reason to delay the entry of

to enter a final judgment as to Dr. Capps.
It is so ordered this 26th day of October, 2016.
