The Court has reviewed the Proposed Findings and Partial Recommended Disposition

submitted by United States Magistrate Judge Joe J. Volpe and Plaintiff’s Objections. After carefully

considering the objections and making a de novo review of the record, the Court concludes that the

Proposed Findings and Partial Recommended Disposition should be, and hereby are, approved and

adopted in their entirety as this Court's findings in all respects. 

 IT IS, THEREFORE, ORDERED that:

1. Defendant Maxim Healthcare Services, Inc. and all “Doe” Defendants are dismissed 

without prejudice for failure to state a claim upon which relief may be granted.1

2. The Court certifies, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3), that an in forma pauperis

appeal from this Order and the accompanying Judgment would not be taken in good faith. 

IT IS SO ORDERED this 1st day of May, 2015.
