JOHN ALLEN WILLIAMSON, JR.; and

DEFENDANTS
ORDER

The Court has received proposed findings and recommendations (Doc. 9) from Chief United
States Magistrate Judge James R. Marschewski. No objections have been filed, and the deadline for
filing objections has passed.
The Court has reviewed this case and, being well and sufficiently advised, finds as follows:
the findings contained in the report and recommendation are sound and without clear error. The
Court therefore ADOPTS the report WITH THE EXCEPTION that the Court does not adopt the
recommendation that a § 1915(g) strike flag be placed on the case, since the case is being dismissed
for lack of jurisdiction.
Accordingly, for the reasons stated in the Magistrate’s report and recommendation, IT IS
ORDERED that Plaintiff’s Complaint be DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE for lack of
jurisdiction.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that all pending motions are DENIED AS MOOT.
Judgment will be entered accordingly.
IT IS SO ORDERED this 20th day of March, 2014.
