ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATIONS 
  
 
 This matter is before the Court upon the Report and Recommendations (“R&R”) of United 
States Magistrate Judge Gentry (doc. 49), regarding Plaintiff’s motion (doc. 39) to dismiss certain 
Defendants. The R&R notes that Plaintiff’s motion is unopposed and therefore recommends that 
the motion be granted and Defendants James Upchurch, Eugene Atherton, Steve Arnold, and Joy 
Perry be dismissed. Id. at # 472. The R&R also recommends dismissal of additional “Jane Doe” 
Defendants who remain un-served long after the 90-day deadline provided by Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(m). 
Id. at # 473-74. No objections to the R&R have been filed, and the time for filing such objections 
under Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b) has expired . Finding no clear error in the R&R, the Court  hereby 
ADOPTS the same. 
 Accordingly, Plaintiff’s motion (doc. 39) is GRANTED and the above-named Defendants 
are DISMISSED. Furthermore, the Court DISMISSES the Jane Doe Defendants for lack of 
service. 
 
IT IS SO ORDERED.
