VALLEY BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SYSTEM, LLC,
and any commonly associated and/or related entities

DEFENDANT

ORDER
The Court has received proposed findings and recommendations (Doc. 7) from United States
Magistrate Judge Mark E. Ford. There have been no objections. After careful review, the Court
concludes that the findings and recommendations should be, and hereby are, approved and adopted
as this Court’s findings in all respects.
Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that this action be DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE for
lack of jurisdiction, as Plaintiff has failed to establish either diversity of citizenship or the requisite
amount in controversy for this Court to exercise jurisdiction in a diversity case, and no federal claim
has been stated. Plaintiff’s case is also dismissed on the alternative basis that Plaintiff failed to
comply with an order of the Court. Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b).
IT IS SO ORDERED this 1st day of July, 2015.
