MEMORANDUM OPINION
The magistrate judge entered a report on January 19, 2017, recommending that
this action, filed pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983, be dismissed without prejudice for
failing to state a claim upon which relief may be granted under 28 U.S.C. § 1915A(b).
(Doc. 17). Although the magistrate judge advised the plaintiff of his right to file
specific written objections within fourteen (14) days, no objections have been received
by the court.
Having carefully reviewed and considered de novo all the materials in the court
file, including the report and recommendation, the magistrate judge’s report is hereby
ADOPTED and the recommendation is ACCEPTED. Therefore, in accordance with
28 U.S.C. § 1915A(b), this action is due to be dismissed without prejudice for failing
to state a claim upon which relief may be granted.
A Final Judgment will be entered.

DONE this the 24th day of February, 2017.

VIRGINIA EMERSON HOPKINS
United States District Judge
