Opinion

Case No. 7:16-cv-1399-KOB-TMP

01-05-2017

DAVID SCOTT GAFFORD, Plaintiff, v. JEFFERSON DUNN, et al., Defendants.


MEMORANDUM OF OPINION

The magistrate judge filed a report on December 8, 2016, recommending that this action be dismissed without prejudice, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915A(b)(1), for failing to state a claim upon which relief can be granted. Although the court advised the plaintiff of his right to file specific written objections within fourteen days, he filed no objections.

Having carefully reviewed and considered de novo all the materials in the court file, including the report and recommendation, the court ADOPTS the magistrate judge's report and ACCEPTS his recommendation. The court finds that, in accordance with 28 U.S.C. § 1915A(b)(1), this action is due to be dismissed without prejudice for failing to state a claim upon which relief can be granted.

The court will enter a separate Final Order.

DONE and ORDERED this 5th day of January, 2017.
