 On July 13, 2005, the Court dismissed with prejudice plaintiff’s due process claim against defendant Doe

and plaintiff’s supervisory liability claim against defendant Adams. (Doc. 35.) Both Doe and Adams were

dismissed from the action due to plaintiff’s failure to state any claims upon which relief may be granted against them.
