Magistrate Judge Brooke Wells

Defendants.

Plaintiff D. Bruce Oliver, proceeding pro se, filed what is titled Motion to Amend
Complaint Pursuant to Rule 15 and Motion to Alter or Amend Judgment Pursuant to Rule 59
(ECF No. 18). This matter was referred to Magistrate Judge Brooke Wells pursuant to 28 U.S.C.
§ 636(b)(1)(B). The matter was fully briefed, and after review of the parties’ briefings, Judge
Wells issued a Report and Recommendation (ECF No. 24) advising the Court to deny Plaintiff’s
motion. The Report and Recommendation specified that the parties should file objections within
fourteen days of service. No objection was filed, and the time for objecting has now passed.
Based on the Court’s de novo review of the record, the relevant legal authority, and the
Report and Recommendation, the Court concludes that the Report and Recommendation is a
correct application of the law to the facts. Accordingly, the Court ORDERS as follows:
1. The Report and Recommendation is ADOPTED IN FULL;
2. Plaintiff’s Motion to Amend Complaint is DENIED;
3. Plaintiff’s Motion to Alter or Amend Judgment is DENIED; and

4. If Plaintiff chooses to refile his motion for leave to amend the complaint, he is
ORDERED to attach a copy of his proposed amended complaint to such motion.

DATED December 4, 2017.
