DECISION AND ENTRY ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION OF UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE (DOC. #11) AND OVERRULING DEFENDANT'S OBJECTIONS THERETO (DOC. #16); JUDGMENT TO ENTER IN FAVOR OF DEFENDANTS AND AGAINST PLAINTIFF HEREIN; DEFENDANT DENIED A CERTIFICATE OF APPEALABILITY AND PERMISSION TO APPEAL INFORMA PAUPERIS', TERMINATION ENTRY

WALTER H. RICE, UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE

Based upon the reasoning and citations of authority set forth by United States Magistrate Judge, Karen L. Litkovitz, in her Report and Recommendation of May 23, 2022 (Doc. #11), as well as upon a thorough de novo review of the filings in the captioned cause and of the applicable law, this Court ADOPTS said Report and Recommendation in its entirety and OVERRULES the Plaintiffs Objections to said Report and Recommendation in its entirety (Doc. #16).

Accordingly, judgment is ordered to be entered in favor of Defendants and against Plaintiff herein. The captioned cause is DISMISSED, with prejudice to a new action.

In ruling as above, this Court concludes that the following items, although they have been reviewed by the Court, are deemed to be moot and, therefore, will not be ruled upon: Doc. ##18, 20, 21 and 22.

Given that this Court's opinion rendered above, as well as the Report and Recommendation of the United States Magistrate Judge, would not be debatable among jurists of reason and that the Plaintiff has failed to make a substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right, a Certificate of Appealability is not issued by the undersigned. Moreover, given that the law is clearly established, this Court declines to issue permission to appeal in forma pauperis. The objection of the Plaintiff, claiming that the Magistrate Judge has offered a chose in action for the Defendants in her Report and Recommendation, in defense for the Defendants, is blatantly erroneous. Accordingly, any appeal from this Court's opinion would be objectively frivolous.

The captioned cause is ordered terminated upon the docket records of the United States District Court for the Southern District of Ohio, Western Division, at Dayton.
