ORDER

By: Glen E. Conrad
Chief United States District Judge

This matter is before the court on three motions for interlocutory injunctive relief (ECF Nos.
153, 159, & 169), filed by Plaintiff Robert Pharoah Howard and referred to United States Magistrate
Judge Pamela Meade Sargent under 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B). Judge Sargent has issued two reports
(ECF Nos. 168 & 170), recommending that Howard’s motions for interlocutory injunctive relief be
denied.1

The fourteen days allotted under § 636(b) for parties to object to the findings and

recommendations in the Magistrate Judge’s Reports have expired, and neither party has filed
objections. Accordingly, it is hereby
ADJUDGED AND ORDERED
that the reports of the Magistrate Judge (ECF Nos. 168 & 170) shall be and hereby are ADOPTED in
their entirety, and the motions for interlocutory injunctive relief (ECF Nos. 153, 159, & 169) are
DENIED.
The Clerk is directed to send a copy of this order to the plaintiff and to counsel of record for
the defendants.
ENTER:

This 9th day of October, 2013.

Judge Sargent recommends that Howard’s motions be denied because he seeks to raise additional claims against
persons not properly before the court in this case and because he has not demonstrated that entry of the requested
interlocutory injunctive relief is appropriate.
