ORDER

NOW on this 13th day of November 2006, comes on for

consideration the Report and Recommendation of the Magistrate

Judge (document #5), filed on October 17, 2006, and plaintiff’s

pleading which this Court will consider as objections to the

Report and Recommendation (document #6), filed on November 7,

2006, and the Court, being well and sufficiently advised, finds

and orders as follows:

1. Plaintiff’s objections offer neither law nor fact

requiring departure from the Report and Recommendation and the

same should be adopted in toto and its recommendations

implemented.

2. Plaintiff’s complaint should be dismissed on the grounds

that the claims therein asserted are frivolous, are asserted

against individuals immune from suit, or are not cognizable under

§ 1983. 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B)(I)-(iii)(IFP action, or any

portion thereof, may be dismissed on such grounds at any time).

477 (1994). To the extent that any of plaintiff’s claims

concerning pending charges are not barred by Heck v. Humphrey, 512

U.S. 477 (1994), abstention under Younger v. Harris, 401 U.S. 37

(1971) is appropriate. 

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED

* that plaintiff’s objections to the Report and

Recommendation should be, and they hereby, overruled and the

report is adopted in toto;

* that plaintiff’s case should be, and it hereby is,

dismissed on the grounds that the claims are frivolous, are

asserted against individuals immune from suit, or are not

cognizable under § 1983; and

. that, plaintiff’s case should be, and it hereby is,

dismissed on the grounds that the claims are barred by Heck v.

Humphrey, 512 U.S. 477 (1994). To the extent that any of

plaintiff’s claims concerning pending charges are not barred by

Heck v. Humphrey, 512 U.S. 477 (1994), abstention under Younger v.

Harris, 401 U.S. 37 (1971) is appropriate. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
