May 20, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 19 ORDER. The Court has reviewed Magistrate Judge Richardson's comprehensive #16 Recommended Ruling concerning the initial review of the self-represented Plaintiff's #2 Complaint pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 1915(e)(2). Plaintiff filed an objection to the Recommended Ruling on May 10, 2022 which the Court has also reviewed and considered. See ECF No. 17. The Recommended Ruling contains an accurate statement of the applicable law and a thoroughly reasoned analysis and application of that law to the circumstances presented here. And Plaintiff's objection and proposed Amended Complaint do not adequately address or cure the deficiencies identified in the Recommended Ruling, particularly with respect to the statute of limitations, which has clearly elapsed. The Recommended Ruling therefore is Accepted, Adopted, and So Ordered. Accordingly, the Complaint is dismissed. The Clerk of the Court is directed to close this matter. Signed by Judge Kari A. Dooley on 5/20/2022. (Sweeney, Kevin)
