MEMORANDUM OF OPINION
The magistrate judge filed a report on April 19, 2017, recommending the
plaintiff’s federal claims 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). (Doc. 11).
The magistrate judge further recommended that the plaintiff’s state law claims for
negligence be dismissed without prejudice pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1367(c)(3). No
party filed any objections.
Having carefully reviewed and considered de novo all the materials in the court
file, including the report and recommendation, the court ADOPTS the magistrate
judge’s report and ACCEPTS his recommendation. Therefore, in accordance with 28
U.S.C. § 1915A(b)(1), the court finds that the plaintiff’s federal claims are due to be
dismissed without prejudice for failing to state a claim upon which relief can be

granted and that the state law claims asserted in the complaint are due to be dismissed
without prejudice pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1367(c)(3).
The court will enter a separate Final Order.
DONE and ORDERED this 31st day of May, 2017.
