RECOMMENDATION OF THE MAGISTRATE JUDGE

Plaintiff, a state inmate, filed this pro se 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action on April 8, 2013. 

Subsequently, and prior to service of the complaint, Plaintiff filed a motion to dismiss this

cause of action. Upon consideration of Plaintiff’s motion to dismiss, the court concludes

that this motion is due to be granted. Furthermore, since the complaint has not been served

on Defendants, the court concludes that this case should be dismissed without prejudice. 

Rule 41(a)(1), Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.

Accordingly, it is the RECOMMENDATION of the Magistrate Judge that Plaintiff’s

motion to dismiss (Doc. No. 3) be GRANTED and that this case be DISMISSED without

prejudice. 

It is further 

ORDERED that on or before June 5, 2013, Plaintiff may file an objection to the

Recommendation. Any objection filed must specifically identify the findings in the

Magistrate Judge’s Recommendation to which Plaintiff is objecting. Frivolous, conclusive
