MEMORANDUM OF OPINION AND ORDER

The magistrate judge filed a report on June 29, 2011, recommending that the defendant

identified as Pickens County be dismissed from this action, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915A(b)(1). 

Although the plaintiff was advised of his right to file specific written objections within fifteen days,

he has failed to respond to the report and recommendation.

Having carefullyreviewed and considered de novo all the materials in the court file, including

the report and recommendation, the Court is of the opinion that the magistrate judge's report is due

to be and hereby is ADOPTED and the recommendation is ACCEPTED. The court finds that the

plaintiff’s complaint fails to state a claim against defendant Pickens County. Accordingly, it is

ORDERED that the claims against Pickens County be and hereby are DISMISSED WITHOUT

PREJUDICE, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915A(b)(1).

Done this 4 day of August 2011. th
