Knox recommended that plaintiff's claims against defendant Long in his individual capacity, as well as plaintiff's damage claims, be dismissed, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915A, for failure to state a claim for which relief can be granted. The parties were advised they could file written exceptions to the r ecommendation, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C). No exceptions have been filed. A review of the record convinces the court that the recommendation of the Magistrate Judge is correct and should be adopted. IT IS, THEREFORE, ORDERED that the Report and Recommendation of October 29, 2008, is adopted. [8] It is further ORDERED that plaintiff's claims against defendant Long in his individual capacity, as well as plaintiff's damage claims, are dismissed, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915A, for failure to state a claim for which relief can be granted.
