IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF WEST VIRGINIA
CHARLESTON DIVISION

THOMAS J. FISHER, II
Plaintiff,
v.

CIVIL ACTION NO. 2:16-cv-12257

LISA M. HALL, et al.,
Defendants.
ORDER
This action was referred to United States Magistrate Judge Dwane L. Tinsley
for submission of proposed findings of fact and recommendations for disposition
pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636. On August 25, 2017, Judge Tinsley submitted his
Proposed Findings & Recommendations [ECF No. 10] (“PF&R”) and recommended
that the court DENY the plaintiff’s Motion to Proceed to Halt and Postpone Any
Orders & Injunction [ECF No. 7] and DISMISS this civil action for lack of subject
matter jurisdiction pursuant to Rule 12(h)(3) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure
or, in the alternative, DISMISS the Complaint, without prejudice, for failure to state
a claim upon which relief can be granted. Neither party timely filed objections to the
PF&R nor sought an extension of time.

A district court “shall make a de novo determination of those portions of the
report or specified proposed findings or recommendations to which objection is made.”
28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C). This court is not, however, required to review, under a de
novo or any other standard, the factual or legal conclusions of the magistrate judge
as to those portions of the findings or recommendation to which no objections are
addressed. Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 150 (1985).
Because the parties have not filed objections in this case, the court accepts and
incorporates herein the PF&R and orders judgment consistent therewith. The court
DENIES the plaintiff’s Motion to Proceed to Halt and Postpone Any Orders &
Injunction [ECF No. 7], DISMISSES the case, and DIRECTS this action to be
removed from the docket.
The court DIRECTS the Clerk to send a copy of this Order to counsel of record
and any unrepresented party.
