The parties were provided an opportunity to file objections to the findings and 

recommendations. On November 12, 2021, plaintiff filed his objections. (Doc. 47.) Defendants 

did not object, but on November 29, 2021, Defendants filed a response to plaintiff’s objections 

(Doc. 48.)

According to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C), this Court has conducted a de novo review of the 

case. Having carefully reviewed the entire file, including the objections and response, the Court 

concludes that the magistrate judge’s findings and recommendations are supported by the record 

and by proper analysis. Thus, the Court ORDERS:

1. The findings and recommendations issued on October 21, 2021, (Doc. 45), are 

adopted in full.

2. This case is STAYED pending resolution of the related state criminal proceeding 

and until further order of the Court.

3. Defendants are required to file a status report within fourteen days after the 

criminal case is resolved, or one year after the date of the stay, whichever is 

earlier.

4. Plaintiff’s motion for leave to amend, (Doc. 34) is denied; and

5. Plaintiff’s request for judicial notice, (Doc. 44), is denied.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
