 OPINION 

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

prisoner, filed this lawsuit seeking to have his 

criminal case reopened and his conviction overturned. 

This lawsuit is now before the court on the 

recommendation of the United States Magistrate Judge 

that plaintiff’s case be dismissed for failure to 

prosecute or comply with orders of the court. 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 

Case 2:15-cv-00293-MHT-CSC Document 6 Filed 08/26/15 Page 1 of 2
should be adopted. 

 An appropriate judgment will be entered. 

 DONE, this the 26th day of August, 2015.
