OPINION 

Relying on both federal and state law, plaintiff 

Luther Paul Stewart charges defendants City of 

Montgomery Alabama, Fire Chief Miford Jordan, Assistant 

Fire Chief John Petrey, and Lieutenant William A. 

Fulton with malicious prosecution and false 

imprisonment. This lawsuit is now before the court on 

the recommendation of the United States Magistrate 

Judge that the defendants’ motion for summary judgment 

should be granted in their favor. Stewart has filed 

objections to the recommendation. After an independent 

and de novo review of the record, the court concludes 

Case 2:13-cv-00859-MHT-PWG Document 35 Filed 03/30/16 Page 1 of 2
that the objections should be overruled and the 

magistrate judge’s recommendation adopted. 

An appropriate judgment will be entered. 

DONE, this the 30th day of March, 2016. 

 /s/ Myron H. Thompson
