documents in this case. Id. He also notes he does not have a tablet and requires access to the law 

library. Id. Plaintiff’s objections provide no additional facts to support his claims, nor do they 

indicate that there are additional facts that he could plead that could render his claims cognizable. 

In accordance with the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1), the Court has conducted a de 

novo review of this case. Having carefully reviewed the file, the Court concludes that the 

findings and recommendations are supported by the record and by proper analysis.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED:

1. The findings and recommendations issued on January 22, 2024, Doc. 15, are adopted 

in full;

2. This action is dismissed, with prejudice and without further leave to amend, for failure 

to state a claim; and

3. The Clerk of the Court is directed to close this case.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: January 14, 2025
