granted. (ECF No. 110.) The parties were allowed thirty days in which to file objections to the 

findings and recommendations. Plaintiff requested and was granted two extensions of time to 

file objections. (ECF Nos. 111, 112, 114, 115.) On August 3, 2016, Plaintiff filed a third 

motion for extension of time to file objections, which was denied by the Court on August 16,

In accordance with the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636 (b)(1)(B) and Local Rule 304, this 

Court has conducted a de novo review of this case. Having carefully reviewed the entire file, 

the Court finds the findings and recommendations to be supported by the record and proper 

analysis. 

Accordingly, THE COURT HEREBY ORDERS that:

1. The Findings and Recommendations issued by the Magistrate Judge on March 

24, 2016 are ADOPTED IN FULL;

2. Defendant Patterson’s motion for an order requiring security from a vexatious 

litigant, filed on August 13, 2015, is GRANTED;

3. Plaintiff is declared a vexatious litigant;

4. Within thirty days from the date of service of this order, Plaintiff is required to 

post security in the amount of $7,905.00; 

5. If Plaintiff fails to post security in the amount of $7,905.00 within thirty days, 

this case shall be dismissed without further notice; and

6. This case is referred back to the Magistrate Judge for further proceedings.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
