Upon de novo review of the file and for the reasons stated in the Report and Recommendation, Doc. 10, it is hereby
ORDERED:
1. The Report and Recommendation of the Magistrate Judge, Doc. 10, is ADOPTED as the opinion of the Court.
2. The Motion to Proceed In Forma Pauperis, Doc. 2, is DENIED.

DONE AND ORDERED.
The Honorable Philip R. Lammens, United States Magistrate Judge
After entry of the Report and Recommendation, Pittenger filed a supplement to the Amended Complaint. Doc. 11. A plaintiff cannot circumvent an unfavorable report and recommendation by attempting to supplement the underlying pleading. But even if the Court were to consider the supplement, the outcome is the same. Pittenger fails to correct the deficiencies described in the Report and Recommendation.
