JUSTIN H. MERRITT (#3452)

CIVIL ACTION

VERSUS
DR. SYNK VEYAZE, ET AL.

NO.: 13-00214-BAJ-SCR

RULING AND ORDER
On October 2, 2013, the United States Magistrate Judge issued a Report and
Recommendation, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1), recommending that Plaintiff
Justin Merritt’s action be dismissed as legally frivolous pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §
1915(e)(2)(B)(i). (Doc. 6.)
The Magistrate Judge’s Report and Recommendation specifically notified
Plaintiff that, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1), he had fourteen (14) days from the
date he received the Report and Recommendation to file written objections to the
proposed findings of fact, conclusions of law, and recommendations therein. (Doc. 6, at
1.) A review of the record indicates that Plaintiff did not file a memorandum in
opposition to the Magistrate Judge’s Report and Recommendation.
Having carefully considered the Magistrate Judge’s Report, the record, and the
applicable law, the Court concludes that the Magistrate Judge’s Report is correct, and
hereby adopts its findings of fact, conclusions of law, and recommendation.
Accordingly,

IT IS ORDERED that the Magistrate Judge’s Report (Doc. 6) is
ADOPTED as the Court’s opinion herein.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the above captioned matter is DISMISSED,
without leave to amend, because there is no conceivable, non-frivolous federal claim
Plaintiff Justin Merritt could assert against these defendants consistent with the facts
alleged in his complaint.
Baton Rouge, Louisiana, November 14, 2013.
