No objections or responses were filed by either party.
Having carefully considered the underlying Complaint, the instant motion, and related filings, the Court approves the Magistrate Judge's Report and Recommendation, and hereby adopts its findings of fact, conclusions of law, and recommendation.
IT IS ORDERED that the Magistrate Judge's Report and Recommendation (Doc. 8) is ADOPTED as the Court's opinion herein.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Plaintiff's claims against Defendants are DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE.
