ORDER

On November 9, 2015, the Magistrate Judge filed a Recommendation (Doc.

(2) The Recommendation (Doc. # 11) is ADOPTED; 

(3) Defendant’s motion to dismiss (Doc. # 7) is GRANTED; 

(4) Plaintiff’s claim against the State of Alabama relating to his surname 

is DISMISSED without prejudice as barred by the Eleventh Amendment;

against Plaintiff.
