ORDER ADOPTING MAGISTRATE’S 

REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION

AND 

DENYING MOTION FOR ENTRY OF DEFAULT

The magistrate judge filed a report and recommendation on February 26, 2015,

stating:

Because the plaintiff has failed to show why he is entitled to the amount

of damages he seeks or provide the court with any evidence regarding his

damages, it is RECOMMENDED that the Motion for Default Judgment

be DENIED WITHOUT PREJUDICE for the plaintiff to cure said

deficiencies. The undersigned notes that if the plaintiff files a motion for

entry of default judgment against the defendant with evidence indicating

to the Court the extent of injuries and damages he suffered as a result of

the subject incident, he must also serve the defendant with his motion for

entry of default judgment by mailing the motion to the address the

plaintiff used to effect proper service on the defendant.

(Doc. 50 at 2). In response, the plaintiff hasfiled a documentstyled as an “Objection,”

file, including the report and recommendation, the Court is of the opinion that the

magistrate judge’s report is due to be, and hereby is, ADOPTED, and his

is not entitled to judgment by default and that his motion is due to be, and is,

DENIED.
