OPINION
Pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983, plaintiff, a state
prisoner,

filed

negligence,

this

complaint

wantonness,

and

seeking
unlawful

damages

for

arrest

and

imprisonment in connection with his 2006 conviction, and
contending that he is actually innocent of that crime.
This

lawsuit

is

now

before

the

court

on

the

recommendation of the United States Magistrate Judge that
plaintiff’s § 1983 claims be dismissed and that, to the
extent

plaintiff

raises

state-law

claims,

the

court

should decline to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over

those claims.

Also before the court are plaintiff’s

objections to the recommendation.

After an independent

and de novo review of the record, the court concludes
that plaintiff’s objections should be overruled and the
magistrate judge’s recommendation adopted.
An appropriate judgment will be entered.
DONE, this the 8th day of November, 2017.
/s/ Myron H. Thompson
UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
