Opinion
Case No. 2:12-cv-68
10-10-2012
LOUIS BONANNO, SR., Plaintiff, v. RONNIE GREER, Judge, Defendant.
Judge Mattice
Magistrate Judge Carter
ORDER
On March 5, 2012, United States Magistrate Judge William Carter filed his Report and Recommendation (Doc. 3) pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1) and Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 72(b). Magistrate Judge Carter recommended that Plaintiff's action be dismissed with prejudice pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2) and that Plaintiff's application for leave to proceed in forma pauperis be denied as moot.
In proceedings in forma pauperis, a district court must dismiss the case if it determines at any time that the action (1) is frivolous or malicious, (2) fails to state a claim on which relief may be granted, or (3) seeks monetary relief against a defendant who is immune from such relief. 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B).
Plaintiff filed his "Motion: in 'Objection' and for a Evidentiary Review, and to Void Judgment Order, as a Matter of Law or Right to Appeal." (Doc. 4). However, Plaintiff's objections are merely reiterations of the original arguments raised in his Complaint. (See Doc. 2; Doc. 4 at 1-5). Further analysis of these same issues would be cumulative and is unwarranted in light of Magistrate Judge Carter's well-reasoned and well-supported Report and Recommendation, in which he fully addressed Plaintiff's arguments.
Plaintiff also filed a "Motion: Notice to Appeal Order/Recommendation" which was construed as an objection to the report and recommendation. (See Doc. 7). However, these objections were untimely filed, and moreover, were cumulative of those arguments contained in Plaintiff's initial objections.
--------
Accordingly, the Court ACCEPTS and ADOPTS Magistrate Judge Carter's findings of fact, conclusions of law, and recommendations pursuant to § 636(b)(1) and Rule 72(b); Plaintiff's Objections (Doc. 4) are OVERRULED; Plaintiff's Motion for Leave to Proceed on Appeal In Forma Pauperis (Doc. 1) and Plaintiff's Motion for Summary Judgment (Doc. 5) are DENIED AS MOOT; and this case is hereby DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE.
