CIVIL ACTION NO.

(WO)
OPINION
Pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983, plaintiff, a state
prisoner, filed this lawsuit claiming that defendant’s
actions hindered his ability to practice and facilitate
the growth of his religion, in violation of the First
Amendment
and
the
Equal
Protection
Clause.
This
lawsuit is now before the court on the recommendation
of the United States Magistrate Judge that defendant’s
motion to dismiss plaintiff’s case be granted due to
plaintiff’s failure to exhaust administrative remedies.
There are no objections to the recommendation.
After
an independent and de novo review of the record, the
court
concludes
that
the
magistrate
judge’s
recommendation should be adopted.
An appropriate judgment will be entered.
DONE, this the 7th day of August, 2017.
/s/ Myron H. Thompson
