ORDER
This matter is before the Court to consider the Report and Recommendation of the United
States Magistrate Judge dated August 14, 2019 [Doc. 5]. In that Report and Recommendation, the
Magistrate Judge recommends that Plaintiff’s Complaint [Doc. 1] be dismissed without prejudice
under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e) for failure to state a federal claim upon which relief can be granted and
as such, that Plaintiff’s Motion to Proceed in forma pauperis [Doc. 2] be denied as moot. Plaintiff
was informed by the Magistrate Judge that he had fourteen (14) days in which to object to the
Report and Recommendation and that a failure to file objections within the time specified would
constitute a waiver of the right to appeal the district court’s order. Plaintiff filed no objections.
Notwithstanding that, after consideration of the record as a whole and after careful
consideration of the Report and Recommendation of the United States Magistrate Judge, and for
the reasons set out in that Report and Recommendation which are incorporated by reference herein,
it is hereby ORDERED that this Report and Recommendation [Doc. 5] is ADOPTED and

APPROVED, that Plaintiff’s complaint be dismissed without prejudice and that Plaintiff’s Motion
to Proceed in forma pauperis be denied as moot.
SO ORDERED:

United States District Judge
