considering these documents and making a de novo review of the record in this case, the Court
concludes that the Proposed Findings and Recommended Disposition should be, and hereby are,
approved and adopted in their entirety as this Court's findings in all respects.1
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED THAT:
1.

Pursuant to the screening function mandated by 28 U.S.C. § 1915A, this case is

DISMISSED, WITHOUT PREJUDICE, for failing to state a claim on which relief may be granted.

Dismissal of this action CONSTITUTES a “strike,” as defined by 28 U.S.C. §

1915(g).
3.

The Court CERTIFIES, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3), that an in forma pauperis
