FRANCIS SCHAEFFER COX, Plaintiff, v. HUGH J. HURWITZ, Acting Director of Federal Bureau of Prisons; GARY BURGESS; KATHY HILL; KATERINE SIERVELD; RICHARD BLYTHE; UNKNOWN PARTIES 1-3; and WILLIAM TRUE, Warden of USP-Marion, Defendants.


MEMORANDUM AND ORDER

This matter comes before the Court on the Report and Recommendation ("Report") (Doc. 40) of Magistrate Judge Stephen C. Williams recommending that the Court deny plaintiff Francis Schaeffer Cox's motion for a preliminary injunction (Doc. 2).

The Court may accept, reject or modify, in whole or in part, the findings or recommendations of the magistrate judge in a report and recommendation. Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b)(3). The Court must review de novo the portions of the report to which objections are made. Id. "If no objection or only partial objection is made, the district court judge reviews those unobjected portions for clear error." Johnson v. Zema Sys. Corp., 170 F.3d 734, 739 (7th Cir. 1999).

The Court has received no objection to the Report. The Court has reviewed the entire file and finds that the Report is not clearly erroneous. Accordingly, the Court hereby:

• ADOPTS the Report in its entirety (Doc. 40); and

• DENIES Cox's motion for a preliminary injunction (Doc. 2). IT IS SO ORDERED.
