Case No. 5:14-cv-01143-SLB-JEO

MEMORANDUM OF OPINION
The magistrate judge filed a report on February 2, 2015, 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). Although the plaintiff
was advised of his right to file specific written objections within fourteen days, he has
failed to respond to the report and recommendation within the time prescribed.
Having carefully reviewed and considered de novo all the materials in the court
file, including the report and recommendation, the Court is of the opinion that the
magistrate judge's report is due to be and is hereby ADOPTED and the recommendation is ACCEPTED. Therefore, in accordance with 28 U.S.C. § 1915A(b)(1), this
action is due to be dismissed without prejudice for failing to state a claim upon which
relief can be granted. A Final Judgment will be entered contemporaneously herewith.

DATED this 24th day of March, 2015.

UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
