OPINION 

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

inmate, filed this lawsuit complaining that Elmore 

County Circuit Court Judge Sibley G. Reynolds violated 

his right to due process by construing his habeas 

petition as a Rule 32 petition and transferring it to 

the circuit court in the county where he was convicted. 

This lawsuit is now before the court on the 

recommendation of the United States Magistrate Judge 

that plaintiff’s case be dismissed. 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, as plaintiff’s claim cannot proceed under 42 

U.S.C. § 1983. 

 An appropriate judgment will be entered. 

DONE, this the 12th day of March, 2015.
