LEROY SMITH, Plaintiff, v. JAMES A. YATES, et al., Defendants.
ORDER ADOPTING FINDINGS
AND RECOMMENDATIONS AND
DISMISSING ACTION FOR FAILURE TO
STATE A CLAIM
(Document 12)
Plaintiff Leroy Smith ("Plaintiff"), a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis, has filed this civil rights action seeking relief under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. The matter was referred to a United States Magistrate Judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B) and Local Rule 302.
On January 9, 2013, the Magistrate Judge issued Findings and Recommendations that the action be dismissed for Plaintiff's failure to state a claim upon which relief could be granted. The Findings and Recommendations were served on Plaintiff and contained notice that any objections to the Findings and Recommendations were to be filed within thirty days. Plaintiff has not filed objections to the Findings and Recommendations.
In accordance with the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C), this Court has conducted a de novo review of this case. Having carefully reviewed the entire file, the Court finds that the Findings and Recommendations are supported by the record and by proper analysis.
Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:
1. The Findings and Recommendations, filed January 9, 2013, are ADOPTED in full;
2. This action is dismissed for failure to state a claim upon which relief may be granted under 42 U.S.C. § 1983; and
3. This dismissal is subject to the "three-strikes" provision set forth in 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g).
IT IS SO ORDERED.
