Case No. 5:15-cv-01546-VEH-JEO

MEMORANDUM OF OPINION
The magistrate judge filed a report on February 5, 2016, 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.
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 hereby is 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.

DONE and ORDERED this the 1st day of March, 2016.
