ORDER
This civil rights case seeking declaratory and injunctive relief is before the Court to
consider the Report and Recommendation of the United States Magistrate Judge, [Doc. 7]. The
plaintiff, a convicted felon, who has applied for readmission to East Tennessee University, claims
that the University and the State of Tennessee have violated a host of her constitutional rights by
asking on her application if she has been convicted of a felony and requiring a background check
not required of non-felons.

The Magistrate Judge has found the allegations frivolous and

recommends that plaintiff’s complaint be dismissed. The plaintiff has objected to the Report and
Recommendation, [Docs. 10, 11].
After careful and de novo consideration of the record as a whole and the Report and
Recommendation of the United States Magistrate Judge, and for the reasons set out in the Report
and Recommendation, which are incorporated by reference herein, it is hereby ORDERED that
the plaintiff’s objections are OVERRULED, that the Magistrate Judge’s Report and
Recommendation is ADOPTED and APPROVED, and that plaintiff’s complaint is
DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE.

So ordered.
