IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS SHERMAN DIVISION SAMUEL WILSON, JR., #170866 § VS. § KEITH SMITH, ET AL. § CIVIL ACTION NO. 4:11cv82 ORDER OF DISMISSAL Plaintiff Samuel Wilson, Jr., an inmate confined in the Denton County Jail, proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis, filed the above-styled and numbered civil rights lawsuit pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. The case was referred to United States Magistrate Judge Don D. Bush, who issued a Report and Recommendation that the Motion to Dismiss (docket entry #9) filed by the Defendants should be granted and that the claims Plaintiff filed pursuant to § 1983 fail to state a claim upon which relief may be granted and therefore should be dismissed as frivolous pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915A(b)(1). Plaintiff has filed objections (docket entry #14) but has not addressed the actual basis for the Magistrate Judge’s recommendation. Instead, he merely states that he has “sound evidence to support [his] allegations” and that he has a DVD with certain information on it. He also states that he has filed a motion for appointment of counsel and seeks a 30-day extension of time in connection with that motion; however, no such motion appears on the docket of this case. Having made a de novo review of the objections raised by Plaintiff to the Report, the Court is of the opinion that the findings and conclusions of the Magistrate Judge are correct and Plaintiff’s objections are without merit. Accordingly, the Court adopts the findings and conclusions of the Magistrate Judge as the findings and conclusions of the Court. It is therefore 1 ORDERED that the Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss (docket entry #9) is hereby GRANTED. It is further ORDERED that Plaintiff’s complaint is DISMISSED with prejudice pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915A(b)(1). It is further ORDERED that any and all motions not yet addressed are hereby DENIED. . SIGNED this the 30th day of March, 2012. _______________________________ RICHARD A. SCHELL UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE 2
