ANTHONY YOUNG, JR. (#325559) v. JOHN BEL EDWARDS, ET AL.
OPINION
JOHN W. deGRAVELLES, UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT JUDGE.
After independently reviewing the entire record in this case and for the reasons set forth in the Magistrate Judge's Report dated January 3, 2022 (Doc. 8), to which an objection was filed and considered (Doc. 9);
IT IS ORDERED that Plaintiff Anthony Young, Jr.'s federal claims are DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE for failure to state a claim upon which relief may be granted pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 1915(e) and 1915A, that the Court declines to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over any potential state law claims, and that this matter shall be CLOSED.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that leave to amend shall be denied, if sought, as Young cannot state a § 1983 claim consistent with the facts alleged for his conviction by a non-unanimous jury and Ramos v. Louisiana does not apply retroactively.
Judgment shall be entered accordingly. 1
