STEPHEN SMITH, Plaintiff, v. TERI TAYLOR-PEDERSEN, MICHELLE RISLEY, A. LAWS WRIGHT, THEODORE JOHNSON, BARBARA BROWN, DAPHNE JOHNSON, and DENISE ALLSBERRY, Defendants.
Magistrate Judge Anthony P. Patti ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
Before the court is Magistrate Judge Anthony P. Patti's report and recommendation dated April 30, 2018. Magistrate Judge Patti recommends that the court dismiss Plaintiff's claims against Defendants Theodore Johnson, Barbara Brown, Daphne Johnson, and Denise Allsbery because Plaintiff's complaint fails to state a claim upon which relief may be granted. No objections have been filed.
With respect to reports and recommendations from magistrate judges, this court "shall make a de novo determination of those portions of the report or specified proposed findings or recommendations to which objection is made." 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C). The court "may accept, reject or modify, in whole or in part, the findings or recommendations made by the magistrate." Id. In light of Plaintiff's failure to object, the court will adopt the magistrate judge's thorough and well-reasoned report and recommendation.
Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Magistrate Judge Patti's April 30, 2018 report and recommendation is ADOPTED.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Plaintiff's complaint is DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Plaintiff's request for appointment of counsel is DENIED.
