MEMORANDUM OPINION
The magistrate judge filed a Report and Recommendation on April 20, 2012,
recommending that this action be dismissed with prejudice for failing to state a claim
upon which relief can be granted, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(b)(1). On May 2,
2012, Plaintiff filed a Motion For Extension Of Time To Amend Petition, doc., #12.
On May 8, 2012, the magistrate entered an Order denying the Motion in that it sought
to amend the complaint, but granted it in that it sought leave for extension of time to
file objections to the Report and Recommendation. On May 29, 2012, the Plaintiff
filed Objections, doc. #14, to the Report and Recommendation.
Having carefully reviewed and considered the court file, including the Report
and Recommendation and the Objections filed by the Plaintiff, the Court is of the
opinion that the magistrate judge’s findings are due to be and are hereby ADOPTED

and his recommendation is ACCEPTED. Accordingly, this case is DISMISSED
WITH PREJUDICE. A Final Judgment will be entered.
DONE this the 6th day of June, 2012.

United States District Judge
