ORDER OVERRULING PLAINTIFF’S OBJECTIONS AND ADOPTING
THE MAGISTRATE JUDGE’S REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
Plaintiff Joe Daniel Adams, a prisoner confined at the Shelby County Jail, proceeding pro
se and in forma pauperis, filed this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 against the
State of Texas, Karren Price, John Price, Allison Harbison, Donnie Hughes, James Payne, Gerald
Corbell, Mike Hanson, and Tiffany Ryals-Curry.
The court 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. The magistrate judge recommended denying Plaintiff’s First Motion for Default
Judgment.
The court has received and considered the Report and Recommendation of United States
Magistrate Judge, along with the record, pleadings, and all available evidence. Plaintiff filed
objections to the magistrate judge’s Report and Recommendation and a Motion for
Reconsideration, which the court liberally construes as objections.

The court has conducted a de novo review of the objections in relation to the pleadings and
the applicable law. See FED. R. CIV. P. 72(b). After careful consideration, the court concludes
the objections are without merit.

and conclusions of law of the magistrate judge are correct, and the Report and Recommendation
of the magistrate judge (#12) is ADOPTED. Plaintiff’s First Motion for Default Judgment (#11)
