SUDDABY, United States District Judge DECISION and ORDER Currently before the Court, in the above-captioned civil rights action filed pro se by Scott M. Thorpe ( Plaintiff ) pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983, is United States Magistrate Judge Andrew T. Baxter s Report-Recommendation recommending that all of the claims asserted in Plaintiff s Complaint be sua sponte dismissed with prejudice pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915, except for his due process claim in Count II of that Complaint, which Magistrate Judge Baxter recommends be dismissed only if Plaintiff fails to file an Amended Complaint correcting the pleading defects in that claim. (Dkt. No. 4.) Plaintiff has filed an Objection to Magistrate Judge Baxter s Report-Recommendation. (Dkt. No. 5.) Based upon a de novo review of the filed papers in this action, including Plaintiff s Complaint, Magistrate Judge Baxter s Report-Recommendation, and Plaintiff s Objection thereto, the thorough Report-Recommendation is accepted and adopted in its entirety for the reasons stated therein. (Dkt. No. 5.) ACCORDINGLY, it is ORDERED that Magistrate Judge Baxter s Report-Recommendation (Dkt. No. 4) is ACCEPTED and ADOPTED in its entirety; and it is further ORDERED that all of the claims asserted in Plaintiff s Complaint (Dkt. No. 1) are sua sponte DISMISSED with prejudice pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915, EXCEPT for the due process claim in Count II of his Complaint, which will be DISMISSED without further Order of this Court if Plaintiff fails to file an Amended Complaint correcting the pleading defects in that claim within THIRTY (30) DAYS of the date of this Decision and Order. Plaintiff is cautioned that his Amended Complaint must be a complete pleading that will replace and supersede his original Complaint in its entirety, and that his Amended Complaint may not attempt to re-assert any claim that was dismissed with prejudice by this Decision and Order. In addition, Plaintiff is reminded that, if he fails to file an Amended Complaint that states a claim upon which relief can be granted, his action will be dismissed without further Order of the Court.
