OPINION 

 Pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983, plaintiff, a state 

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. There are no 

objections to the recommendation. After an independent 

and de novo review of the record, the court concludes 

that the magistrate judge’s recommendation should be 

adopted.
