QUATEZ VASHON BROOKS, PLAINTIFF v. OFFICER TORREY HANKINS, ET AL., DEFENDANTS
ORDER
DANIEL P. JORDAN III, CHIEF UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
This cause is before the Court on the Report and Recommendation [50] of Magistrate Judge F. Keith Ball. Officers Torrey Hankins, Charles E. Forman, and Malcolm Handy moved to dismiss, or, alternatively, for summary judgment. See Mot. [29]. Officer Paul Griffin, Jr., moved for summary judgment, or, alternatively, for judgment on the pleadings. See Mot. [37]. Judge Ball recommended granting both motions and dismissing the action with prejudice.
The Court has considered the Report and Recommendation and agrees with Judge Ball's reasoning, analysis, and conclusions. The Report and Recommendation provided an opportunity for Plaintiff to file an Objection; Plaintiff did not, and the time to do so has passed.
Accordingly, the Court finds the unopposed Report and Recommendation [50] should be adopted as the Court's opinion. Defendants' motions [29, 37] are granted; this action is dismissed with prejudice. A separate judgment will be entered in accordance with Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 58.
SO ORDERED AND ADJUDGED. 1
