MEMORANDUM OF OPINION

The magistrate judge filed a report and recommendation on July 5, 2007,

recommending that this action be dismissed for failing to state a claim upon which relief can

be granted, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915A(b)(1). The magistrate judge further recommended

that any state law claims be dismissed, without prejudice, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1367(c)(3).

The plaintiff filed objections to the report and recommendation on July 12, 2007. 

Having carefully reviewed and considered de novo all the materials in the court file,

including the report and recommendation and the objections thereto, 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. In the defendant’s objections, he asserts that he

complained to the sheriff about the alleged illegal taking of his money. Such complaint, if

made, would not make a legal difference in this case. Accordingly, the plaintiff’s federal law

claims are due to be dismissed for failing to state a claim upon which relief can be granted,
