(ECF No. 12). The Findings and Recommendation were served on the parties and contained notice that any objections were to be filed within thirty (30) days of the date of service of the Findings and Recommendation. To date, the parties have not filed any objections, and the time for doing so has passed. On January 16, 2018, Petitioner filed a § 1983 civil rights complaint and a motion to proceed in forma pauperis. (ECF Nos. 15, 16).

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:
1. The Findings and Recommendation issued on December 13, 2017 (ECF No. 12) is ADOPTED;IT IS SO ORDERED.
2. Respondent's motion to dismiss (ECF No. 10) is GRANTED; and
3. The Clerk of Court is DIRECTED to convert the instant case to a civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983.
