ROBERT E. PERDUE, Plaintiff, v. OHIO STATE HIGHWAY PATROL, et al., Defendants.
Magistrate Judge Karen L. Litkovitz
DECISION AND ENTRY ADOPTING THE REPORT AND RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE (Doc. 4)
This case is before the Court pursuant to the Order of General Reference in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Ohio Western Division to United States Magistrate Judge Karen L. Litkovitz. Pursuant to such reference, the Magistrate Judge reviewed the pleadings filed with this Court and, on January 15, 2015, submitted a Report and Recommendations. (Doc. 4). Plaintiff filed an objection. (Doc. 5).
Plaintiff's objection is simply a short summary reiterating the facts contained in his complaint. (Doc. 5).
As required by 28 U.S.C. § 636(b) and Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b), the Court has reviewed the comprehensive findings of the Magistrate Judge and considered de novo all of the filings in this matter. Upon consideration of the foregoing, the Court does determine that such Report and Recommendations should be and is hereby adopted in its entirety. Accordingly:
1. Plaintiff's complaint is DISMISSED pursuant to 28 U.S.C. Section 1915(e)(2)(B) and 1915A(b)(1); and
2. Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. Section 1915(a)(3), an appeal of this Order would not be taken in good faith and therefore, Plaintiff is denied leave to appeal in forma pauperis.
The Clerk shall enter judgment accordingly, whereupon this case is CLOSED in this Court.
IT IS SO ORDERED. Date: 2/3/15
