KERMITT JOE BERNHART v. TIM HOOPER
RULING AND ORDER
BRIAN A. JACKSON, JUDGE.
Plaintiff, an individual confined at the Louisiana State Penitentiary, alleges that Defendant Tim Hooper violated Plaintiff's constitutional rights and seeks declaratory, monetary, and injunctive relief. (Doc. 1). Pursuant to the screening requirements of 28 U.S.C. §§ 1915(e)(2)(B) and 1915A, the Magistrate Judge has now issued a Report and Recommendation (Doc. 5, the “Report”), recommending that Plaintiff's claims be dismissed, with prejudice, as fanciful and frivolous. (Id.). Plaintiff's deadline to object to the Report has passed, without any objection from Plaintiff.
Having carefully considered the operative Complaint and related filings, the Court APPROVES the Report and ADOPTS it as the Court's opinion in this matter.
Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that Plaintiff's claims be and are hereby DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 1915(e) and 1915A as legally frivolous and fanciful.
Judgment will issue separately.
