IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF WEST VIRGINIA CHARLESTON DIVISION 1 STARR DALTON, Plaintiff, v. W.VA PAROLE BOARD, et al., Defendants. CIVIL ACTION NO. 2:08-cv-00958

MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER Pending before the court is the plaintiff's Complaint [Docket 2]. Pursuant to a 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B) and a Standing Order, this civil case, including the above motions, was referred to the Honorable Mary E. Stanley, United States Magistrate Judge, for proposed findings of fact and recommendations for disposition.

The court has reviewed de novo those portions of the PF&R to which the plaintiff objects. Finding that those objections lack merit, the court ADOPTS the Magistrate Judge's proposed findings. The Complaint is DISMISSED. The court DIRECTS the Clerk to send a copy of this Order to Magistrate Judge Stanley, counsel of record, and any unrepresented party. ENTER: December 10, 2009
