Plaintiff has not filed any objections to the R & R, and the deadline for doing so has passed. Having reviewed the R & R and the underlying record, the Court fully concurs in the thorough analysis of the Magistrate Judge, and adopts the R & R in its entirety as the ruling of this Court. Accordingly,
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Magistrate Judge's May 9, 2013 Report and Recommendation (docket #36) is ADOPTED as the opinion of this Court. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, for the reasons stated in the R & R, that Defendants' motions to dismiss (docket #s 15, 18, 20, 21, and 28) are GRANTED, and that Plaintiff's motion to amend his complaint (docket #35) and motion to return home pending trial (docket #12) are DENIED. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, for the reasons stated in the R & R, that Plaintiff's January 11, 2013 amended complaint is DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE as to the federal claims asserted in this pleading, and DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE as to any state law claims asserted against Defendants Perry W. Lewis and Jennipher Colthirst.
