OPINION

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

prisoner, filed this lawsuit contending that his 

musical band has not been allowed to practice or use 

instruments at the prison due to racial and religious 

discrimination. This lawsuit is now before the court 

on the recommendation of the United States Magistrate 

Judge that plaintiff’s claims against the Alabama 

Department of Corrections be dismissed. There are no 

objections to the recommendation. After an independent 

and de novo review of the record, the court concludes 

Case 2:15-cv-00432-MHT-GMB Document 14 Filed 09/21/15 Page 1 of 2
that the magistrate judge’s recommendation should be 

adopted.

An appropriate judgment will be entered.

DONE, this the 21st day of September, 2015.
