OPINION

Pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983, plaintiff filed this 

lawsuit asserting that defendant, a court-referral 

program officer, violated his First Amendment rights 

under the Establishment Clause by penalizing him for 

his unwillingness to attend a faith-based program as a 

condition of probation. This lawsuit is now before the 

court on the recommendation of the United States 

Magistrate Judge that defendant’s motion for summary 

judgment be granted. Also before the court are 

plaintiff’s objections to the recommendation. After an 

independent and de novo review of the record, the court 

Case 2:14-cv-01175-MHT-CSC Document 62 Filed 05/23/16 Page 1 of 2
concludes that plaintiff’s objections should be 

overruled and the magistrate judge’s recommendation 

adopted.

An appropriate judgment will be entered.

DONE, this the 23rd day of May, 2016.

 /s/ Myron H. Thompson____
