JAMES LEWIS HOPKINS #185090 PLAINTIFF v. DEAN, et al. DEFENDANTS
ORDER
KRISTINE G. BAKER CHIEF UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
The Court has reviewed the Proposed Findings and Recommendations submitted by United States Magistrate Judge Jerome T. Kearney (Dkt. No. 8). Plaintiff James Lewis Hopkins has not filed any objections, and the time to file objections has passed. Accordingly, after careful consideration, the Court approves and adopts the Proposed Findings and Recommendations in their entirety as this Court's findings in all respects (Id.). The Court dismisses this action without prejudice for failure to state a claim on which relief may be granted. The relief requested is denied (Dkt. Nos. 2, 7). The Court recommends that this dismissal count as a “strike” for purposes of 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g). Gonzalez v. United States, 23 F.4th 788, 789-91 (8th Cir. 2022). The Clerk is directed to close the case. The Court certifies, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3), that an in forma pauperis appeal from this Order would not be taken in good faith.
It is so ordered.
