Judge Robert E. Blackburn

ORDER ADOPTING RECOMMENDATION OF THE UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE

Blackburn, J.

The matter before me is the Recommendation of United States Magistrate Judge [#51],¹ filed February 9, 2015. No objections having been filed to the recommendation, I review it only for plain error. See Morales-Fernandez v. Immigration & Naturalization Service , 418 F.3d 1116, 1122 (10^th Cir. 2005).² Finding no such error in the recommended disposition, I find and conclude that the magistrate judge's recommendation should be approved and adopted.

1 "[#51]" is an example of the convention I use to identify the docket number assigned to a specific paper by the court's case management and electronic case filing system (CM/ECF). I use this convention throughout this order.

2 This standard pertains even though plaintiff is proceeding pro se. Morales-Fernandez , 418 F.3d at 1122. Nevertheless, because plaintiff is proceeding pro se, I have construed his pleadings more liberally and held them to a less stringent standard than formal pleadings drafted by lawyers. See Erickson v. Pardus , 551 U.S. 89, 94, 127 S. Ct. 2197, 2200, 167 L.Ed.2d 1081 (2007); Andrews v. Heaton , 483 F.3d 1070, 1076 (10^th Cir. 2007); Hall v. Bellmon , 935 F.2d 1106, 1110 (10^th Cir. 1991) (citing Haines v. Kerner , 404 U.S. 519, 520-21, 92 S.Ct. 594, 595-96, 30 L.Ed.2d 652 (1972)).

THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED as follows:

1. That the Recommendation of United States Magistrate Judge [#51], filed February 9, 2015, is APPROVED AND ADOPTED as an order of this court; and

2. That the following motions are DENIED:

a. Defendants Rick Raemisch, Tony Carochi, Lou Archuleta, James Falk, Larry Reid, Donna Sims, Jeremiah Cone, John Crussell, Michelle Nycz-Halligan, Dave Scherbarth, Jeff Petersen, Michele Wingert, Scott Sturgeon, and Ryan Long's Motion To Dismiss [#37], filed March 13, 2014;



b. Defendant Mark Flowers's Motion To Dismiss [#40], filed March 17, 2014; and



c. Defendant Kevin Milyard's Motion To Dismiss [#47], filed April 16, 2014.

Dated March 9, 2015, at Denver, Colorado.

BY THE COURT:
