Litkovitz DECISION AND ENTRY ADOPTING THE REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION OF THE UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE (Doc. 16) This case is before the Court pursuant to the Order of General Reference in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Ohio Western Division to United States Magistrate Judge Karen L. Litkovitz. Pursuant to such reference, the Magistrate Judge reviewed the pleadings filed with this Court and, on November 30, 2016, submitted a Report and Recommendation. (Doc. 16). Defendant Gerald Thompson filed objections to the Report and Recommendation on December 16, 2016. (Doc. 17) 1 As required by 28 U.S.C. § 636(b) and Fed. R. Civ.

Defendant’s objections are, like his Complaint, rambling and difficult to decipher, and they appear generally to reassert the same claims raised in the Complaint. Nowhere in his objections does Defendant Thompson address the substantive and procedural deficiencies with his Complaint identified in the Report and Recommendation. Accordingly, a complete adoption of the Report and Recommendation is appropriate. Dockets.Justia.com determine that such Report and Recommendation should be and is hereby adopted in its entirety. Accordingly: 1. Plaintiffs Huddleston and Smith are DISMISSED from this civil action for lack of prosecution; 2. Plaintiff Gerald Thompson’s complaint (Doc. 1), as amended (Doc. 7), is DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 1915(e)(2)(B) and 1915A(b)(1); 3. Plaintiff Gerald Thompson’s remaining motions (Docs. 5, 6, 10, 18) are DENIED as moot; 4. The Clerk shall enter judgment accordingly, whereupon this case shall be TERMINATED in this Court. IT IS SO ORDERED. 1/3/2017 Date: _______________ _______________________ Timothy S. Black United States District Judge 2
