OPINION

Pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983, plaintiff, an inmate, 

filed this lawsuit alleging that Chaplain Steven Smith 

violated his First Amendment rights. This lawsuit is 

now before the court on the recommendation of the 

United States Magistrate Judge that plaintiff’s case be 

dismissed without prejudice. Also before the court are 

plaintiff’s objections to the recommendation. After an 

independent and de novo review of the record, the court 

concludes that the plaintiff’s objections should be 

overruled and the magistrate judge’s recommendation

adopted.
