STEPHEN SMITH, Plaintiff, v. TERI TAYLOR-PEDERSEN, MICHELLE RISLEY, A. LAWS WRIGHT, THEODORE JOHNSON, BARBARA BROWN, DAPHNE JOHNSON, and DENISE ALLSBERRY, Defendants.
Magistrate Judge Anthony P. Patti ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
Before the court is Magistrate Judge Anthony P. Patti's report and recommendation dated December 27, 2017. Magistrate Judge Patti recommends that the court grant Defendants Teri Taylor-Pedersen, A. Laws Wright, and Michelle Risley's motions to dismiss. Specifically, Magistrate Judge Patti recommends that the court dismiss all claims that Plaintiff brings under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 or criminal statutes with prejudice, and all Plaintiff's state law claims without prejudice. No objections to the report and recommendation have been filed.
With respect to reports and recommendations from magistrate judges, this court "shall make a de novo determination of those portions of the report or specified proposed findings or recommendations to which objection is made." 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C). The court "may accept, reject or modify, in whole or in part, the findings or recommendations made by the magistrate." Id. With no objections having been filed, the court finds no basis to disturb the magistrate judge's well-supported analysis and conclusions.
Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Magistrate Judge Patti's December 27, 2017 report and recommendation is ADOPTED.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Defendants Teri Taylor-Pedersen, A. Laws Wright, and Michelle Risley's motions to dismiss are GRANTED.
