ORDER On May 12, 2009, United States Magistrate Judge William A. Knox recommended that plaintiff's claims against defendants Reddin, Brewer, Atwell, Martin, Janamen, Fussner, Marcit Insurance Company and John Doe Insurance Company be dismissed, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915A, for failure to state a claim for which relief can be granted.

The issues raised in plaintiff's exceptions were adequately addressed in the report and recommendation. The court is persuaded that the recommendation of the Magistrate Judge is correct and should be adopted. IT IS, THEREFORE, ORDERED that the Report and Recommendation of May 12, 2009, is adopted. [11] It is further ORDERED that plaintiff's claims against defendants Reddin, Brewer, Atwell, Martin, Janamen, Fussner, Marcit Insurance Company and John Doe Insurance Company are dismissed, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915A, for failure to state a claim for which relief can be granted.
