MEMORANDUM ORDER
On February 11, 2008, Plaintiff initiated the above-captioned case by filing a Motion to Proceed In Forma Pauperis accompanied by a civil rights Complaint. This case was referred to United States Magistrate Judge Lisa Pupo Lenihan for pretrial proceedings in accordance with the Magistrate Judges Act, 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1), and Rules 72.1.3 and 72.1.4 of the Local Rules for Magistrate Judges.
On April 1, 2008, Magistrate Judge Lisa Pupo Lenihan filed a Report and Recommendation (doc. no. 6), recommending that the Amended Complaint (doc. no. 2) be dismissed under the PLRA for failure to state a claim upon which relief may be granted. On April 8, 2008, Plaintiff filed a second Amended Complaint (doc. no. 7) in which he reiterates the same claims he set forth in his first Amended Complaint. Plaintiff filed Objections to the Report and Recommendation on April 11, 2008 (doc. no. 8). Plaintiff's objections do not undermine the recommendation of the Magistrate Judge.
After de novo review of the pleadings and documents in the case, together with the Report and Recommendation, and the Objections thereto, the following order is entered:
