BRIAN A. .JUKSON, JUDGE
Plaintiff, an individual confined at the Louisiana State Penitentiary, filed this mandamus proceeding against the Clerk of the 18th Judicial District Court for the Parishes of Iberville, West Baton Rouge, and Pointe Coupee, asking for a Writ of Mandamus to be issued against Deputy Clerk Brandy Foreman that requires her to file his state court pleadings without the prepayment of filing fees. (Doc. 1). Pursuant to the screening requirements of 28 U.S.C. §§ 1915(e)(2)(B) and 1915A, the Magistrate Judge has now issued a Report and Recommendation (Doc. 6, the “Report”), recommending that Plaintiffs claims be dismissed, with prejudice, as legally frivolous and for failure to state a claim upon which relief may be granted. Plaintiffs deadline to object to the Report has passed, without any objection from Plaintiff.
Having carefully considered the operative Complaint and related filings, the Court APPROVES the Report and ADOPTS it as the Court's opinion in this matter.
Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that Plaintiffs claims be and are hereby DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 1915(e) and 1915A as legally frivolous and for failure to state a claim upon which relief may be granted.
Judgment shall issue separately.
