CASE NO.:

MEMORANDUM OPINION
In accordance with the usual practices of this court, and 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1),
this matter was referred to a magistrate for a preliminary report and recommendation.
On October 13, 2015, the magistrate recommended “that this action be DISMISSED
WITHOUT PREJUDICE, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915A(b)(1), for failing to state a
claim upon which relief can be granted.” (Doc. 16 at 8) (bold in original). On October
27, 2015, the plaintiff filed objections to that recommendation. (Doc. 17).
Having carefully reviewed and considered de novo all the materials in the court
file, including the report and recommendation, and the objections thereto, the court is
of the opinion that the magistrate judge’s report is due to be and is hereby ADOPTED
and his recommendation is ACCEPTED. The Court EXPRESSLY FINDS that the
plaintiff has failed to state a claim upon which relief can be granted, and that this action
is due to be dismissed pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915A(b)(1). A Final Judgment will be

entered.
DONE this the 2nd day of December, 2015.
