OPINION 

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

prisoner, filed this lawsuit complaining that his 

constitutional rights were violated during his criminal 

trial in state court and that he was sentenced in 

violation of state law. This lawsuit is now before the 

court on the recommendation of the United States 

Magistrate Judge that plaintiff’s case be dismissed as 

the his claims are not at this time cognizable in the 

instant civil action. There are no objections to the 

recommendation. After an independent and de novo
