ORDER

This case is before the court on the Recommendation of the Magistrate Judge (Doc. #8),

entered on February 17, 2012, together with the Plaintiff’s Objection (Doc. #9), filed on March

6, 2012. 

The court has conducted an independent evaluation and de novo review of this file. 

Having done so, the court finds that the objection is without merit.

The Plaintiff objects to the Magistrate Judge acting without consent of the parties. This

court, acting pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B), has designated its magistrate judges to

consider cases of this type and to submit recommendations for disposition to the assigned district

judge. That is what happened in this case, and the court agrees with the Magistrate Judge’s

finding that this suit is barred by the applicable statute of limitations, as shown on the face of the

Complaint. Therefore, Plaintiff’s objection is OVERRULED, the court ADOPTS the

Recommendation of the Magistrate Judge, and it is hereby

ORDERED that this case is DISMISSED prior to service of process pursuant to 28

U.S.C. 21 1915(e)(2)(B)(i), as the claims presented are filed outside the relevant two-year

Case 2:12-cv-00008-WHA-TFM Document 11 Filed 05/03/12 Page 1 of 2
period of limitation.

DONE this 3rd day of May, 2012.
