ORDER ADOPTING FINDINGS AND 

RECOMMENDATIONS, AND DISMISSING 

ACTION, WITH PREJUDICE, FOR FAILURE 

TO STATE A CLAIM

(ECF No. 51)

Plaintiff James Trotter is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis in this 

civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. This matter was referred to a United States 

Magistrate Judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B) and Local Rule 302.

On December 19, 2019, the assigned Magistrate Judge issued findings and 

recommendations recommending dismissal of this action, with prejudice, for failure to state a 

cognizable claim upon which relief may be granted. (ECF No. 51.) The findings and 

recommendations were served on Plaintiff and contained notice that any objections thereto were 

to be filed within fourteen (14) days after service. (Id. at 17.) No objections have been filed, and 

the time in which to do so has passed.

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

de novo review of this case. Having carefully reviewed the entire file, the Court finds that the 

Magistrate Judge’s findings and recommendations are supported by the record and proper
