Opinion

Civil Action No. 3:19-CV-215-L-BN

11-30-2020

SHAPAT NABAYA, Plaintiff, v. BUREAU OF PRISONS; WARDEN M. UNDERWOOD; JOHN DOE, Head Dentist; NFN BROADNAK, Dental Assistant; JOHN DOE PEREZ, Dentist; and JANE DOE BRAHAM, Dental Assistant, Defendants.


ORDER

The Findings, Conclusions and Recommendation of the United States Magistrate Judge ("Report") (Doc. 33) was entered on October 7, 2020, recommending that the court dismiss with prejudice Plaintiff's claims, as amended under Bivens v. Six Unknow Named Agents of Federal Bureau of Narcotics, 403 U.S. 388 (1971), against the remaining Defendants as barred by the doctrine of sovereign immunity or lack of availability of a Bivens remedy. As noted in the court's November 27, 2019 order (Doc. 28), the claims against Warden M. Underwood were previously dismissed without prejudice for lack of jurisdiction. No objections to the Report were filed.

Having considered the habeas petition, as amended by Petitioner's various responses to the magistrate judge's questionnaires, the file, record in this case, and Report, the court determines that the findings and conclusions of the magistrate judge are correct, and accepts them as those of the court. Accordingly, the court dismisses with prejudice this action and Petitioner's remaining claims against the Bureau of Prisons and the individual Defendants.

The court certifies that any appeal of this action would not be taken in good faith. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3). In support of this finding, the court incorporates by reference the Report (Doc. 33). See Baugh v. Taylor, 117 F.3d 197, 202 n.21 (5th Cir. 1997). Based on the Report, the court concludes that any appeal of this action would present no legal point of arguable merit and would, therefore, be frivolous. Howard v. King, 707 F.2d 215, 220 (5th Cir. 1983).

It is so ordered this 30th day of November, 2020.
