Opinion

Case No. 3:14-cv-130

09-02-2015

WARREN EASTERLING, Plaintiff, v. JUDGE MARY DONOVAN, et al., Defendants.


DECISION AND ENTRY ADOPTING UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE'S REPORT AND RECOMMENDATIONS (DOC. #17); OVERRULING PLAINTIFF'S OBJECTIONS THERETO (DOC. #18); OVERRULING PLAINTIFF'S MOTION FOR RELIEF FROM JUDGMENT (RULE 60(b)) (DOC #16); JUDGMENT TO ENTER IN FAVOR OF DEFENDANTS AND AGAINST PLAINTIFF; CASE TO REMAIN TERMINATED ON COURT'S DOCKET

Based on the reasoning and citations of authority set forth by United States Magistrate Judge Michael R. Merz, in his August 17, 2015, Report and Recommendations, Doc. #17, as well as on a thorough de novo review of this Court's file and the applicable law, the Court ADOPTS said judicial filing in its entirety. Plaintiff's Objections, Doc. #18, concerning the applicability of the Rooker-Feldman doctrine, are OVERRULED as meritless for reasons previously explained by the Court on multiple occasions.

The Court OVERRULES Plaintiff's Rule 60(b) Motion for Relief from Judgment, Doc. #16. Furthermore, as recommended by Magistrate Judge Merz, Plaintiff is strongly cautioned that additional frivolous filings in this Court concerning the applicability of the Rooker-Feldman doctrine will, very likely, result in the imposition of Rule 11 sanctions. This is true not only in the above-captioned case, but in each of the many duplicative cases that Plaintiff has filed in this Court. If Plaintiff disagrees with this Court's rulings, he may file a timely appeal with the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals.

Judgment shall be entered in favor of Defendants and against Plaintiff. This case shall remain terminated on the Court's docket. Date: September 2, 2015
