The court has carefully considered the petition, the record, the law applicable to this action, and the Report and Recommendation of United States Magistrate Richard L. Bourgeois, Jr. dated August 6, 2012 (doc. no. 33) to which no objection has been filed.
The court hereby approves the report and recommendation of the magistrate judge and adopts it as the court's opinion herein.

Further the court declines to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over the plaintiff's state law claims and that the defendants' Motion for Summary Judgment (doc. no. 31) is GRANTED, dismissing the plaintiff's federal claims, with prejudice, and this action is DISMISSED.
