IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS TYLER DIVISION

TOBY WILLIAMS, #0631555 §

VS. § CIVIL ACTION NO. 6:18cv567

BRYAN COLLIER, ET AL. §

ORDER DENYING PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION AND TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER

This action was referred to United States Magistrate Judge John D. Love, who issued a Report and Recommendation (Docket No. 39) concluding that Plaintiff’s motion for preliminary injunction and temporary restraining order (Docket No. 36) should be denied. Plaintiff has filed objections. Docket No. 41. This Court reviews the findings and conclusions of the Magistrate Judge de novo only if a party objects within fourteen days of service of the Report and Recommendation.

(b)(1). In conducting a de novo review, the Court examines the entire record and makes an independent assessment under the law. Douglass v. United Servs. Auto. Ass’n,

(5th Cir. 1996) (en banc), superseded on other grounds by statute,

(b)(1) (extending the time to file objections from ten to fourteen days). Plaintiff’s objections are not specific objections to the Report. Plaintiff merely provides a re-hashing of his allegations found in his Amended Complaint. Frivolous, conclusory, or general objections need not be considered by the district court. See Nettles v. Wainwright,

, 410 n.8 (5th Cir. 1982) (en banc), overruled on other grounds by Douglass v. United Servs. Auto. Ass’n,

(5th Cir. 1996) (en banc); see also Valez-Pedro v. Thermo King 1 De Puerto Rico, Inc.,

(1st Cir. 2006) (explaining that an objecting party must put forth more than “[cJonclusory allegations that do not direct the reviewing court to the issues in controversy.”). The Court has conducted a careful de novo review of the record and the Magistrate Judge’s proposed findings and recommendations. See

(b)(1) (explaining the district judge shall “make a de novo determination of those portions of the report or specified proposed findings or recommendations to which objection is made.”). Having reviewed the Report and Plaintiff’ s objections, the Court has determined that the Report is correct, and the objections are without merit. It is accordingly ORDERED that the Report and Recommendation (Docket No. 39) is ADOPTED. It is further ORDERED that the motion for preliminary injunction and temporary restraining order (Docket No. 36) is DENIED. So ORDERED and SIGNED this 27th day of August, 2020. qo D Kobe JERQMY D, RERNODIE UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
