ORDER
On July 22, 2025, the Order and Recommendation of the United
States 	Magistrate 	Judge 	was 	filed 	and 	notice 	was 	served 	on 	the
parties 	in 	accordance 	with 	28 	U.S.C. 	§ 	636(b). 	Objections 	were
filed within the time limits prescribed by section 636. 	(Doc. 4.)
Although 	the 	objections 	are 	not 	specific 	and 	fail 	to 	invoke
this 	court’s 	de 	novo 	review, 	he 	court 	has 	nevertheless 	carefully
reviewed 	the 	portions 	of 	the 	Magistrate 	Judge’s 	report 	to 	which
objection was made and has made a de novo determination in accord
with 	the 	Magistrate 	Judge’s 	report. 	The 	court 	finds 	that 	the
objections 	do 	not 	change 	the 	substance 	of 	the 	Magistrate 	Judge’s
Recommendation, which is adopted.
IT 	IS 	THEREFORE 	ORDERED 	that 	this 	action 	is 	dismissed 	sua
sponte 	without 	prejudice 	to 	Plaintiff 	Graddy 	or 	other 	inmates
filing 	new 	complaints, 	on 	the 	proper 	§ 	1983 	forms, 	which 	correct
the defects noted by the Magistrate Judge.
