MEMORANDUM ORDER
This case has been referred to United States Magistrate Judge Cynthia Reed Eddy for
pretrial proceedings in accordance with the Magistrates Act, 28 U.S.C. §§ 636(b)(l)(A) and (B),
and Local Rule of Civil Procedure 72.
On June 4, 2018, the Magistrate Judge issued an Order (Doc. 2) granting Plaintiff’s
Motion for Leave to Proceed in Forma Pauperis (Doc. 1) and directing that Plaintiff’s Complaint
be filed. On June 6, 2018, the Magistrate Judge issued a Report and Recommendation (Doc. 5)
recommending that the Complaint (Doc. 3) be dismissed with prejudice prior to service under 28
U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2) because the action is legally frivolous. Service of the Report and
Recommendation was made on Plaintiff, and no objections have been filed.
After a review of the pleadings and documents in this case, together with the Report and
Recommendation, it hereby is ORDERED that: Plaintiff’s Motion for Leave to Proceed in
Forma Pauperis (Doc. 1) is GRANTED; this action is DISMISSED pursuant to 28 U.S.C.
§ 1915(e); and the Magistrate Judge’s Report and Recommendation (Doc. 5) is adopted as the
