ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
*** *** *** *** *** ***
This matter is before the Court on Magistrate Judge Edward B. Atkins's Report and Recommendation (R&R) (Doc. # 47), wherein he recommends that the Court grant Defendants' motion for summary judgment (Doc. # 23), deny Plaintiff's motion for injunctive relief (Doc. # 15), grant Defendants' motion to declare Plaintiff a vexatious litigator (Doc. # 24), and deny Plaintiff's motion for consideration and motion for a stay pending appeal (Doc. # 46). (Doc. # 47). Plaintiff filed no objections to the R&R and the time for filing objections has expired, so the R&R is ripe for review. The Court having reviewed the R&R and finding it sound in all respects, the Court will adopt the R&R as the findings of fact and conclusions of law of the Court.
Based on the Plaintiff's pro se status, the Court allowed him a few extra days in which to file objections to the R&R. The deadline would have been July 24, 2017. Despite giving him additional time, no objections have been filed. --------
Accordingly, for the reasons set forth in the Magistrate Judge's R&R,
