OPINION

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

prisoner, filed this lawsuit challenging the legality 

of his arrest and the representation he received from 

his court-appointed lawyer. This lawsuit is now before 

the court on the recommendation of the United States 

Magistrate Judge that plaintiff’s case be dismissed

with prejudice, except for those claims challenging the 

fundamental legality of his 2013 convictions, which the 

magistrate judge recommends be dismissed without 

prejudice. There are no objections to the 

recommendation. After an independent and de novo 

Case 2:17-cv-00033-MHT-TFM Document 5 Filed 02/24/17 Page 1 of 2
review of the record, the court concludes that the 

magistrate judge’s recommendation should be adopted.

An appropriate judgment will be entered.

DONE, this the 24th day of February, 2017.
