The court hereby approves the report and recommendation of the magistrate judge and adopts it as the court's opinion herein. Accordingly, the supplemental jurisdiction over plaintiffs' state law claims are declined and plaintiffs' complaint and amended complaint are DISMISSED, with prejudice, for failure to state a claim in accordance with the screening provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B), and without prejudice to any state law claims that plaintiffs may have.
