PER CURIAM:
Samantha Elabanjo appeals the district court’s order dismissing her civil suit under
28 U.S.C. § 1915(e). The district court referred this case to a magistrate judge pursuant to
28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B). The magistrate judge recommended dismissing the case for
failure to state a claim. Elabanjo filed timely and specific objections to the
recommendation. The district court conducted a de novo review of Elabanjo’s objections.
On appeal, Elabanjo asserts that the district court erred in finding that her claims
lacked a basis in the law and erred by applying the clearly erroneous standard of review.
Despite Elabanjo’s assertion, the court explicitly stated that it conducted a de novo review
of each of Elabanjo’s specific objections to the magistrate judge’s report and addressed
each objection in its order. We conclude that the district court applied the appropriate
standard of review and correctly determined that Elabanjo failed to state a claim, and that
her claims that she is immune from state or federal law and that her right to travel is
infringed upon by traffic laws are frivolous. We have reviewed the entire record and find
no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order. Elabanjo v. Griffith,
No. 5:24-cv-00155-FL (E.D.N.C. August 5, 2024). We dispense with oral argument
because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before this
court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
