MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER

Upon consideration of the Recommendation of the Magistrate Judge (Doc. # 40)

and the Plaintiff’s Objections to that recommendation (Doc. # 41), the Court does not

believe that the Plaintiff has met the criteria for obtaining a preliminary injunction. 

Specifically, the Plaintiff has failed to demonstrate (1) a substantial likelihood of success

on the merits; (2) a substantial threat of irreparable injury; (3) that the threatened injury

outweighs the potential damage to the non-moving party; and (4) that the injunction

would not be adverse to the public interest. See Palmer v. Braun, 287 F.3d 1325, 1329

(11th Cir. 2002). 

Accordingly, it is hereby ORDERED:

1. The plaintiff's objection (Doc. #41) to the Recommendation of the Magistrate

Judge filed on July 18, 2011 is overruled;

2. That the Recommendation of the Magistrate Judge (Doc. # 40) filed on June

30, 2011 is ADOPTED.

3. The motion for preliminary injunction (Doc. #36) filed by plaintiff is DENIED.

4. This case is referred back to the Magistrate Judge for additional proceedings. 

Done this the 29 day of July, 2011.
