OPINION
MYRON H. THOMPSON, District Judge.
Pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983, plaintiff, a state inmate, filed this lawsuit claiming that the defendants violated his constitutional rights by searching him and imposing a disciplinary action against him for unauthorized possession of a cell phone. This lawsuit is now before the court on the recommendation of the United States Magistrate Judge that defendants' motion for summary judgment be granted to the extent that plaintiff's claims be dismissed without prejudice pursuant to Heck v. Humphrey, 512 U.S. 477 (1994), and its progeny. There are no objections to the recommendation. After an independent and de novo review of the record, the court concludes that the magistrate judge's recommendation should be adopted.
An appropriate judgment will be entered.
