ORDER GRANTING MOTION TO EXTEND TIME TO FILE OBJECTIONS
AND DENYING MOTION TO ALTER JUDGMENT
Despite 	granting 	Plaintiff 	two 	extensions 	to 	file 	an 	objection 	to 	the
Recommendation, Plaintiff did not file an objection, the time in which to do so expired,
and this Court adopted the Magistrate Judge’s Report and Recommendation to grant the
remaining Defendants Dr. Sharnn Shepheard, Dr. Shirley Eugene, Dr. Joseph Fowlkes,
and Dr. Sol Prebus’ Motions for Summary Judgment because the undisputed facts
showed that Defendants were not deliberately indifferent to Plaintiff’s serious medical
needs, there were no genuine issues of material fact, and Defendants were entitled to
qualified immunity. Thereafter, Judgment was entered in favor of Defendants.
