MEMORANDUM OF OPINION

The magistrate judge filed a report and recommendation on March 24, 2010, recommending

that the this cause be dismissed under 28 U.S.C. § 1915A(b) for failure to state a claim upon which

relief may be granted. On March 30, 2010, the plaintiff filed objections wherein he disputes the

magistrate's finding that the plaintiff fails to state a claim upon which relief may be granted, objects

to the finding that defendant Criswell is immune from liability, and argues that a dismissal under 28

U.S.C. § 1915A(b)(1) and/or (2) constitutes a due process violation. 

Having carefullyreviewed and considered de novo all the materials in the court file, including

the report and recommendation and the objections filed by the plaintiff, the Court is of the opinion

that the magistrate judge's report is due to be and is hereby ADOPTED and his recommendation is

ACCEPTED. Accordingly, this action is due to be DISMISSED pursuant to 1915A(b)(1) and/or

(2).
