Case No. 2:13-cv-01646-MHH-PWG

MEMORANDUM OF OPINION
The magistrate judge filed a report on February 7, 2014, recommending that this
action be dismissed without prejudice for failing to state a claim upon which relief can be
granted, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915A(b)(1). The plaintiff filed objections to the report and
recommendation on February 19, 2014. However, the plaintiff’s objections do not directly
address the substance of the report and recommendation, but simply assert the conclusory
statement that the defendants have deprived him of life, liberty, and property without due
process.
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 hereby is ADOPTED and the
recommendation is ACCEPTED. Accordingly, this action is due to 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. A Final Judgment will be entered by separate order.
The plaintiff’s pending motion to appoint counsel (doc. #17) is DENIED as moot.
DATED this 10th day of March, 2014
