Case No. 7:16-cv-01820-LSC-SGC

MEMORANDUM OPINION
The magistrate judge filed a report on October 17, 2017, recommending 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). (Doc. 6). Although the magistrate judge advised the plaintiff
of his right to file specific written objections within fourteen (14) days and further afforded him
the opportunity to file an amended complaint within the same time period, the court has received
neither objections nor an amended complaint. (Id. at 9-10)
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 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 can
be granted.
A Final Judgment will be entered separately.

DONE and ORDERED on December 6, 2017.
