Civil No. 2:17-CV-013-NT

ORDER AFFIRMING THE RECOMMENDED
DECISION OF THE MAGISTRATE JUDGE
On August 11, 2017, the United States Magistrate Judge filed with the court,
with copy to the Plaintiff, his Recommended Decision after a preliminary review of
the Plaintiff’s Complaint under 28 U.S.C.§ 1915. Recommended Decision (ECF No.
13). The Plaintiff filed an objection to the Recommended Decision on August 21, 2017
(ECF No. 15).1 The State of Maine responded to the Plaintiff’s objection on September
1, 2017 (ECF No. 17). I have reviewed and considered the Recommended Decision,
together with the entire record; I have made a de novo determination of all matters
adjudicated by the Recommended Decision. I concur with the recommendations of the
United States Magistrate Judge.

The only objection the Plaintiff makes is to the recommendation that his motion to proceed in
forma pauperis be denied. The Plaintiff has made no objection to the recommendation that his
claims be dismissed pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B). Even if I found there to be merit to his
objection to the denial of in forma pauperis status, the Plaintiff has waived any arguments directed
at the recommendation that his Complaint fails to state a claim against Justice Thomas Warren or
the State of Maine.

It is therefore ORDERED that the Recommended Decision of the Magistrate
Judge is hereby AFFIRMED and the Plaintiff’s claims against Justice Thomas
Warren and the State of Maine are DISMISSED with prejudice.
SO ORDERED.
