Case No. 4:18-cv-01368-CLM-SGC

MEMORANDUM OPINION

On September 24, 2019, the magistrate judge entered a report recommending 

the plaintiff’s request for nominal damages be denied, his motion for voluntary 

dismissal be granted, and this action be dismissed without prejudice. (Doc. 26). 

Although the plaintiff was advised of his right to file specific written objections 

within fourteen days, he has failed to respond to the report and recommendation. 

Having carefully reviewed and considered de novo all the materials in the 

court file, including the report and recommendation, the magistrate judge’s report is 

ADOPTED, and the recommendation is ACCEPTED. The plaintiff’s request for 

nominal damages is DENIED. The plaintiff’s motion for voluntary dismissal (Doc. 

25) is GRANTED, and therefore, this action is due to be dismissed without 

prejudice. A final judgment will be entered.
