Plaintiff Henry O’Neal Dingle, Jr. (“Plaintiff” or “Dingle”), proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis, brings this action against Defendants Warden John Palmer, Associate Warden Thomas Robertson (collectively “Defendants”), alleging violations of his constitutional rights, while detained at the McCormick Correctional Institution (MCI), pursuant to

recommendation.” Diamond v. Colonial Life & Acc. Ins. Co.,

Thus, the Court adopts the Report (DE 12) and incorporates it here by reference. It is, therefore, ORDERED that Plaintiff’s case is dismissed without prejudice,

without leave to amend, and without issuance and service of process. IT IS SO ORDERED. _____________________________ Joseph Dawson, III United States District Judge
