CHARLES A. BROOKS v. CHARLES E. SAMUEL, JR., et al.


MEMORANDUM ORDER OVERRULING OBJECTIONS AND ADOPTING THE MAGISTRATE JUDGE'S REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION

Plaintiff, Charles Aaron Brooks, an inmate formerly confined at FCI Beaumont, proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis, filed this Bivens-type action against numerous defendants.

The court referred this matter to the Honorable Keith Giblin 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 Temporary Restraining Order and/or Preliminary Injunction be denied (docket entry no. 21 & 24).

The court has received and considered the Report and Recommendation of United States Magistrate Judge filed pursuant to such order, along with the record, and pleading. Plaintiff filed a Motion for Reconsideration (docket entry no. 28). This Court liberally construes the Motion for Reconsideration as Objections to the Report and Recommendation of United States Magistrate Judge. This requires a de novo review of the objections in relation to the pleadings and applicable law. See FED. R. CIV. P. 72(b).

After careful consideration, the court finds plaintiff's objections lacking in merit. Plaintiff's complaint concerns defendants at FCC Beaumont. Plaintiff's Motion for Temporary Injunction and/or Motion for Preliminary Injunction concerns individuals at USP Florence. The individuals complained of in the pending motion are not defendants in the above-referenced case. Plaintiff is free to file a separate civil rights action against individuals at USP Florence if he so chooses.

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.

SIGNED this the 28 day of August, 2018.
