UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF LOUISIANA

WILLIE COPELAND

CIVIL ACTION

VERSUS

NO. 17-2122

DANIEL EDWARDS ET AL.

SECTION “I” (2)
ORDER

The Court, having considered the complaint, the record, the applicable law, the
Report and Recommendation of the United States Magistrate Judge, and plaintiff's
objection to the Magistrate Judge's Report and Recommendation, hereby approves the
Report and Recommendation of the United States Magistrate Judge and adopts it as its
opinion in this matter with one modification. Plaintiff's objection raises arguments and
claims not raised in his original complaint; therefore, the Court deems it appropriate to
modify the dismissal with prejudice to be one without prejudice.
Therefore,

IT IS ORDERED that plaintiff’s Section 1983 claims are DISMISSED
WITHOUT PREJUDICE, either as legally frivolous and/or for failure to state a claim
on which relief may be granted under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2).
New Orleans, Louisiana, this 17th day of May, 2017.
