TERRELL v. WASHINGTON

HUGH LAWSON, District Judge

Before the Court is the Magistrate Judge's Report and Recommendation ("R R") (Doc. 20) on Respondent's Motion to Dismiss (Doc. 9) and Petitioner's Motion for Summary Judgment (Doc. 10). The R R recommends granting Respondent's Motion to Dismiss and denying Petitioner's Motion for Summary Judgment. Petitioner has filed a timely Objection (Doc. 21). Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1), the Court has thoroughly considered Petitioner's Objection and has made a de novo determination of the portion of the R R to which he objects. After careful consideration, the Court accepts and adopts the findings, conclusions, and recommendations of the Magistrate Judge.
