CASE NO. 1:15-CV-117-WKW

 

ORDER

On November 10, 2015, the Magistrate Judge filed a Recommendation (Doc. 

# 7), to which Plaintiff has filed a timely Objection (Doc. # 8). The court has 

conducted an independent and de novo review of those portions of the 

Recommendation to which objections are made, see 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1). The 

court concludes that the objections are without merit and that the Magistrate 

Judge’s Recommendation is due to be adopted.

Accordingly, it is ORDERED as follows:

1. Plaintiff’s objections (Doc. # 8) are OVERRULED;

2. The Recommendation (Doc. # 7) is ADOPTED; 

3. Plaintiff’s complaint, as amended, is DISMISSED prior to service of 

process pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B)(i)-(iii) because the amended

complaint is frivolous, fails to state a claim on which relief can be granted, and 

seeks monetary relief from defendants who are immune to such relief; and

4. Plaintiff’s motion to lift stay to serve defendants (Doc. # 6) is 

DENIED as moot.

A final judgment will be entered separately. 

DONE this 1st day of December, 2015.
