MEMORANDUM OF OPINION

The magistrate judge filed a report and recommendation on April 30, 2007,

recommending that this action be dismissed for failing to state a claim upon which

relief can be granted, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B)(ii). The plaintiff filed

objections to the report and recommendation on May 3, 2007. He also seeks to

amend the complaint in order to demand additional relief.(Doc. #7). The recommendation to dismiss, however, is based upon the statute of limitations and res judicata.

Thus, the plaintiff’s desired amendment would not cure the defects in the complaint.

Accordingly, the plaintiff’s motion to amend is DENIED. 

Having carefully reviewed and considered de novo all the materials in the court

file, including the report and recommendation and the objections thereto, the Court

is of the opinion that the magistrate judge's report is due to be and hereby is

ADOPTED and the recommendation is ACCEPTED. Accordingly, the complaint
