MEMORANDUM ORDER
Carlos J. Rivera Maysonet ("Plaintiff") is a prisoner currently confined at the State Correctional Institution at Greene ("SCI-Greene"). He initiated this prisoner civil rights action on May 20, 2014, by submitting for filing a Motion for Leave to Proceed in forma pauperis, along with a Complaint titled "Tort Claims Action" ("Complaint"). The Complaint (ECF No. 5) was referred to Chief United States Magistrate Judge Lisa Pupo Lenihan for pretrial proceedings in accordance with the Magistrate Judge's Act, 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1), and Rules 72.C and 72.D of the Local Rules of Court.
The Magistrate Judge's Report and Recommendation (ECF No. 8) filed on August 6, 2014, recommended that Plaintiff's Complaint be dismissed with prejudice as frivolous pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B)(i). Service was made on Plaintiff, and he was informed that in accordance with the Magistrate Judge's Act, 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B) and (C), and Local Rule of Court 72.D.2, he had fourteen (14) days from the date of service to file objections to the Report and Recommendation. Plaintiff filed objections (ECF No. 9) on August 22, 2014. However, the Court finds that they do not undermine the recommendation of the Magistrate Judge.
Therefore, after reviewing the pleadings and documents in this case, together with the Report and Recommendation and the objections thereto, the following Order is entered:
AND NOW, this 27th day of August, 2014, it is hereby ORDERED that the Report and Recommenda:ion (ECF No. 8) of Chief Magistrate Judge Lenihan, dated August 6, 2014, is adopted as the Opinion of the Court.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B)(i), Plaintiff's Complaint is dismissed with prejudice as frivolous.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Clerk of Court mark this case CLOSED.

App. P. 3, must be filed with the Clerk of Court, United States District Court, at 700 Grant Street, Room 3110, Pittsburgh, PA 15219, within thirty (30) days.
