Nature of Suit Code: 555
Nature of Suit: Prisoner - Prison Condition
Cause of Action: 42:1983 Prisoner Civil Rights

---

In his objections, plaintiff states that he "prefers that this case be heard as a habeus (sic) corpus." 1

(doc. 7.) As stated in the report and recommendation, however, plaintiff has no petition for writ of habeas

corpus pending, and, further, plaintiff has made no claims challenging his conviction in the instant case.

(doc. 6 n. 1.) Thus, if plaintiff wishes to seek habeas relief, he must file a separate habeas action pursuant

to 28 U.S.C. § 2254.

MEMORANDUM OPINION

The magistrate judge filed a report and recommendation on September 15, 2006,

recommending that this action filed pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 be dismissed as frivolous and for

failing to state a claim upon which relief can be granted. The plaintiff filed objections to the report

and recommendation on September 20, 2006.

Having carefully reviewed and considered de novo all the materials in the court file, including

the report and recommendation and the objections thereto, the Court is of the opinion that the

magistrate judge's report is due to be and is hereby ADOPTED and the recommendation is

ACCEPTED. Accordingly, the complaint is due to be dismissed as frivolous and for failing to state 1

a claim upon which relief can be granted or seeking monetary relief from a defendant who is

immune pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915A(b). An appropriate order will be entered.

DATED this 20th day of October, 2006.
