On March 4, 2015, the Magistrate Judge’s Report and Recommendation was entered and 

the parties were allowed therein fourteen (14) days in which to file objections to the

After careful consideration of the record in this case and the Magistrate Judge’s Report 

and Recommendation, the court hereby ADOPTS the Report of the Magistrate Judge. First, the 

court ACCEPTS the recommendation of the Magistrate Judge that the claims against Defendant

Ana W. Franklin are due to be dismissed pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915A(b)(1), for failing to state 

a claim upon which relief can be granted and that Franklin is to be dismissed as a Defendant in 

this action. 

Second, the court also ACCEPTS the recommendation of the Magistrate Judge that 

Defendants Sain and Nau be required to respond to Plaintiff’s allegation that they subjected him 

to excessive force on April 19, 2014, and that said claim be referred to the Magistrate Judge for
