MEMORANDUM OPINION

On May 2, 2016, the magistrate judge entered a report and recommendation, 

doc. 12, recommending dismissal of Carl Coleman’s complaint as permitted under 

the Prison Litigation Reform Act, 28 U.S.C. § 1915A, which permits the court to 

dismiss sua sponte a prisoner’s complaint prior to service. Coleman was allowed 

fourteen (14) days in which to file objections to the recommendation. That 

fourteen-day period has passed, and Coleman has not filed an objection to the 

magistrate judge’s recommendation.

Having reviewed the pleadings, the briefs, the magistrate’s report, and the 

recommendation, the court hereby ADOPTS the recommendation of the 

magistrate judge. Accordingly, because the court lacks subject matter jurisdiction
