ORDER ADOPTING
THE MAGISTRATE JUDGE’S REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
Plaintiff Brandon D. Williams, proceeding pro se, filed this civil rights lawsuit against
Balden Polk, Sergeant Carney and Sergeant Melton. The court previously referred this matter to
the Honorable Christine L. Stetson, United States Magistrate Judge, at Beaumont, Texas, for
consideration pursuant to applicable laws and orders of this court. 	The magistrate judge has
submitted a Report and Recommendation of United States Magistrate Judge recommending the
claim against defendant Polk be dismissed for failure to state a claim upon which relief may be
granted. To date, the parties have not filed objections.
The court has received the Report and Recommendation, along with the record, pleadings,
and all available evidence. 	After careful review, the court finds that the findings of fact and
conclusions of law of the magistrate judge are correct.
Accordingly, the Report and Recommendation of United States Magistrate Judge (#7) is
ADOPTED. The claim against defendant Polk is DISMISSED for failure to state a claim upon
which relief may be granted.
