OPINION

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

prisoner, filed this lawsuit challenging the defendant

prison officials’ denial of his request for a transfer 

to a lower-security setting, which decision he asserts 

was based on a 1972 criminal charge for which he was 

never convicted. This lawsuit is now before the court 

on the recommendation of the United States Magistrate 

Judge that plaintiff’s case be dismissed without 

prejudice for plaintiff's failures to comply with the 

order of the court and to prosecute this action. There 

are no objections to the recommendation. After an 

independent and de novo review of the record, the court 

Case 2:15-cv-00785-MHT-SRW Document 5 Filed 01/11/16 Page 1 of 2
concludes that the magistrate judge’s recommendation 

should be adopted.

An appropriate judgment will be entered.

DONE, this the 11th day of January, 2016.

 /s/ Myron H. Thompson____
