In accordance with the provisions of 28 U.S.C.

§ 636(b)(1)(C) and Local Rule 73-305, this Court has conducted a

de novo review of this case. Having carefully reviewed the

entire file, the Court finds the Findings and Recommendations to

be supported by the record and by proper analysis.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. The Findings and Recommendations, filed May 18, 2007,

are ADOPTED IN FULL;

2. Plaintiff’s complaint with regard to the opening of

outgoing mail containing legal correspondence is DISMISSED, with

leave to amend, for failure to state a claim upon which relief

may be granted. Within thirty (30) days from the date of service

of this order, plaintiff shall file an amended complaint with

regard to this issue only. The failure to file an amended

complaint will result in a recommendation that this action be

dismissed for failure to obey a court order and failure to state

a claim upon which relief may be granted;

3. Plaintiff’s complaint with regard to the opening of

mail marked as official business from federal agencies is

DISMISSED for failure to state a claim upon which relief may be

granted; and,

4. Plaintiff’s complaint with regard to the delay in

receiving court documents from the mail room is DISMISSED for

failure to state a claim upon which relief may be granted.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
