OPINION 

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

inmate, filed this lawsuit complaining that his arrest 

violated his constitutional rights because it occurred 

absent a warrant and without probable cause and that 

his conviction was invalid because of fabricated 

evidence and false testimony. This lawsuit is now 

before the court on the recommendation of the United 

States Magistrate Judge that plaintiff’s case be 

summarily dismissed with prejudice to the extent the 

claims are barred by the statute of limitations and 

without prejudice as to those claims which challenge

the constitutionality of a state criminal conviction 

imposed upon the plaintiff. There are no objections to 

the recommendation. After an independent and de novo 

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 30th day of June, 2015.
