OPINION

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

inmate, filed this lawsuit challenging the Alabama

Corrections Department’s alleged restrictions on the

religious practices of Native Americans. This lawsuit is

now before the court on the recommendation of the United

States Magistrate Judge that this lawsuit be dismissed for

two reasons: (1) plaintiff’s failure to exhaust

administrative remedies, for which defendants have filed

a dismissal motion; and (2) plaintiff’s failure to

prosecute. There are no objections to the recommendation. 

After an independent and de novo review of the record, the

Case 2:11-cv-00381-MHT-TFM Document 29 Filed 09/29/14 Page 1 of 2
court concludes that the magistrate judge’s recommendation

should be adopted.

An appropriate judgment will be entered.

DONE, this the 29th day of September, 2014.

 /s/ Myron H. Thompson 

UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
