CASE NO. 2:14-CV-862-WKW

ORDER

On August 14, 2014, the Magistrate Judge filed a Recommendation in this 

case that Plaintiff’s motion for preliminary injunction be denied. (Doc. # 6.) The 

Magistrate Judge concluded that Plaintiff’s motion is due to be denied because she 

cannot show the requisite substantial likelihood of success on the merits of her 

claims. 

On August 26, 2014, Plaintiff filed objections to the Recommendation,

(Doc. # 7), along with an amended complaint, (Doc. # 8). The court has conducted 

an independent and de novo review of those portions of the Recommendation to 

which objection is made. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1). Plaintiff contests the 

Magistrate Judge’s finding that Plaintiff’s original claims were not properly 

pleaded, and she asserts that he did not construe her pro se pleading liberally or 

accept her allegations as true. However, Plaintiff’s pro se status does not relieve

her of the obligation to show substantial likelihood of success on the merits of her 

claims. 

Accordingly, it is ORDERED as follows:

1. Plaintiff’s objections (Doc. # 7) are OVERRULED;

2. The Recommendation (Doc. # 6) is ADOPTED;

3. Plaintiff’s motion for preliminary injunction is DENIED without 

prejudice;

4. This case is REFERRED back to the Magistrate Judge for further 

proceedings.

DONE this 26th day of August, 2014.
