The Magistrate Judge filed a Report and Recommendation on May 25, 2010,

recommending that this action, filed pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983, be dismissed

under 28 U.S.C. § 1915A(b) for failing to state a claim upon which relief may be

granted. Plaintiff filed objections to the Report and Recommendation on June 16,

2010. (Doc. 11.) 1

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 is hereby

ADOPTED and the Recommendation is ACCEPTED. Accordingly, the complaint

The Magistrate Judge recommended that Plaintiff’s complaint be dismissed because his 1

claims are barred by the statute of limitations. (Doc. 10.) In his objections, Plaintiff correctly notes

that the statute of limitations for a 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action in Alabama is two (2) years. (Doc. 11.)

He does not argue that his claims should be considered under a different limitations period.
