ORDER

On May 26, 2010, the Magistrate Judge filed a Recommendation in this case. (Doc.

# 43.) On June 9, 2010, Plaintiff T.P.R., “by and through his parent Donna PattersonRandolph,” filed objections on June 9, 2010. (Doc. # 44.) Upon an independent and de novo

review of those portions of the Recommendation to which objection is made, 28 U.S.C.

§ 636(b)(1)(C), the objection lacks merit for the reasons set forth in the Magistrate Judge’s

Recommendation. Accordingly, it is ORDERED as follows:

1

1. The objections (Doc. # 44) are OVERRULED.

2. The Recommendation (Doc. # 43) is ADOPTED.

 The objections mirror the arguments made by Plaintiff in response to the Magistrate Judge’s 1

show cause Order entered on April 28, 2010 (Doc. # 41). The argument that the statute of limitations

would have expired if Ms. Patterson-Randolph had not filed this action on behalf of her minor son is

incorrect. (Doc. # 44, at 2.) As previously noted by the Magistrate Judge, “under Alabama law, the

statute of limitations is tolled until a minor reaches the age of majority, 19.” (Doc. # 40, at 1.)

3. This action is DISMISSED without prejudice pursuant to 28 U.S.C.

§ 1915(e)(2)(B)(ii).

An appropriate judgment will be entered.

DONE this 17th day of June, 2010.
