CASE NO. 2:14-CV-716-WKW

ORDER

On October 1, 2014, the Magistrate Judge filed a Recommendation (Doc. 

# 3) to which Plaintiff timely filed objections (Doc. # 5). Based upon an 

independent and de novo review of those portions of the Recommendation to 

which objection is made, see 28 U.S.C. § 636(b), it is ORDERED as follows:

(1) The objections (Doc. # 5) are overruled;

(2) the Recommendation (Doc. # 3) is ADOPTED; 

(3) the § 1983 claims against Defendants are DISMISSED with prejudice

under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B)(i), (ii) and/or (iii);

(4) Plaintiff’s challenge to the constitutionality of the convictions and 

sentence imposed upon him by the Circuit Court for Tallapoosa County, Alabama,

is DISMISSED without prejudice under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B)(ii) as these

claims are not properly before the court at this time; and

(5) because a prior Order permitted Plaintiff to amend his complaint 

(Doc. # 7) after the entry of the Recommendation, this action is REFERRED back 

to the Magistrate Judge for additional proceedings.

DONE this 12th day of November, 2014.
