ORDER
ALETA A. TRAUGER UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
Magistrate Judge Alistair Newbern has issued a Report and Recommendation (“R&R”) (Doc. No. 39), recommending that the court deny both the Motion to Dismiss filed by Tennessee Department of Correction (“TDOC”) Commissioner Tony Parker and TDOC Medical Director Dr. Kenneth Williams (Doc. No. 17) and the separate Motion to Dismiss filed by Dr. Ernest Joseph Jones (Doc. No. 25). Defendants Parker and Williams have not objected to the R&R. The court, accordingly, ACCEPTS the Magistrate Judge's recommendation and DENIES their Motion to Dismiss without further discussion.
Defendant Jones has lodged Objections. (Doc. No. 40.) As set forth in the accompanying Memorandum, Jones's Objections are OVERRULED. The court ACCEPTS and ADOPTS in the R&R in its entirety and DENIES Jones's Motion to Dismiss as well.
This case is returned to the Magistrate Judge for further handling under the original referral order.
It is so ORDERED. 1
