ORDER

Before the court is Plaintiff Samuel Allan McCormick’s Objection to the 

Magistrate Judge’s Orders (Doc. # 6), in which Plaintiff objects to the Magistrate

Judge’s dismissal of the City of Florala as a respondent in this action (Doc. # 4), as 

well as the Magistrate’s order that Plaintiff submit the proper paperwork to support 

his motion to proceed in forma pauperis (Doc. # 5). Upon careful consideration of 

the objection (Doc. # 6), it is ORDERED that the objection is OVERRULED 

inasmuch as the order of dismissal (Doc. # 4) is neither clearly erroneous nor 

contrary to law. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(a). Insofar as Plaintiff objects to the
