OPINION

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

prisoner, filed this lawsuit alleging discriminatory

treatment under the Equal Protection Clause stemming 

from a disciplinary infraction imposed for possession 

of contraband. 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.
