ORDER

LISA GODBEY WOOD, Chief District Judge.

After an independent and de novo review of the entire record, the undersigned concurs with the Magistrate Judge's Report and Recommendation, to which Objections have been fried. In his Objections, Plaintiff asserts that Barry Goodrich and Shevondah Fields should not be dismissed as named Defendants. Plaintiff maintains that Goodrich and Fields failed to exercise their supervisory authority to override the indigent postage limitation. Plaintiff also maintains that Goodrich's and Fields' failure to do so constitutes a callous disregard for his constitutional rights.

Plaintiff's Objections are without merit and are overruled. The Magistrate Judge's Report and Recommendation is adopted as the opinion of the Court. Plaintiffs claims against the Georgia Department of Corrections, Coffee Correctional Facility, Goodrich, Fields, Brian Owens, and Ricky Myrick are DISMISSED. Plaintiff's claims for monetary damages against the remaining Defendants in their official capacities are DISMISSED. Plaintiff's claims against Defendants Cooper, the Corrections Corporation of America, and K. Reed (originally identified as "John or Jane Doe") shall remain pending.

SO ORDERED.
