Case No. 7:14-cv-00693-LSC-SGC

MEMORANDUM OPINION
The magistrate judge filed a report on November 3, 2015, recommending
that the plaintiff’s federal constitutional and statutory claims against the defendants
be DISMISSED pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915A(b)(1) and/or (2), and that
jurisdiction over the plaintiff’s Alabama constitutional claim be DECLINED.
(Doc. 24). The magistrate judge further recommended that the plaintiff’s Motion
for Judgment (Doc. 17) be DENIED. 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)(1) and/or (2), the plaintiff’s federal

constitutional and federal statutory claims against the defendants are due to be
dismissed, jurisdiction over his Alabama constitutional claim is due to be declined,
and his Motion for Judgment is due to be denied.
A final judgment will be entered.
DONE and ORDERED on December 2, 2015.
