ORDER

On October 22, 2015, the Magistrate Judge filed a Recommendation 

(Doc. # 77) to which Plaintiff filed an objection (Doc. # 80). The court has 

conducted an independent and de novo review of those portions of the 

Recommendation to which objection is made, see 28 U.S.C. § 636(b). Plaintiff’s 

arguments do not address or undermine the finding by the Magistrate Judge that 

Plaintiff failed to meet the prerequisites necessary to warrant the extraordinary

relief of a preliminary injunction. Accordingly, it is ORDERED as follows:

(1) Plaintiff’s objection (Doc. # 80) is OVERRULED;

(2) The Recommendation (Doc. # 77) is ADOPTED;

(3) Plaintiff’s motions for preliminary injunction (Docs. # 3,4) are 

DENIED; and

proceedings.
