IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF GEORGIA
AUGUSTA DIVISION

YVONNE MURPHY HICKMAN,
Plaintiff,
CV 115-021

RICHMOND COUNTY GEORGIA, Agency,
and DaCARA S. BROWN, d/b/a The Law
Office of DaCara S. Brown, in her

individual and official capacity,
Defendants.

ORDER

After a careful, de novo review of the file, the Court concurs with the Magistrate Judge's
Report and Recommendation, to which objections have been filed (doc. no. 8). The Magistrate

Judge recommended dismissal of this case because Plaintiff refused to comply with an order of

the Court directing her to file an amended complaint. (See doc. no. 6.) The Magistrate Judge

thoroughly and correctly explained to Plaintiff that her consent is not required for him to make
rulings on non-dispositive matters in the case. Consistent with that explanation, the Magistrate

Judge then made his recommendation to this Court on a dispositive matter, namely the dismissal
of the case.

In response, Plaintiff filed a document with a six-line title which includes several
variations on the words "motion" and "complain," but which, in a nutshell, objects to the
dismissal of her case. Plaintiff demands to know why her complaint has not been served on

Defendants and complains, again, about the screening of her informa pauperis complaint under
28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B). She also accuses the Court of a variety of misdeeds, requests that all
"orders against her" be vacated, and asks for a change of venue.
Nothing in Plaintiffs filing changes the Magistrate Judge's analysis that this case is due

to be dismissed because Plaintiff has shown, repeatedly, that she has no intention of complying
with the order to submit an amended complaint that satisfies the dictates of Federal Rule of Civil
Procedure 8. Likewise, Plaintiff has not demonstrated she is entitled to any relief requested in

her baseless motions interspersed with her objections to the requirement that she file an amended
complaint. Thus, the Court DENIES her motions and OVERRULES her objections.

Accordingly, the Court ADOPTS the Report and Recommendation of the Magistrate
Judge as its opinion.

Therefore, the Court DISMISSES this case without prejudice and

CLOSES this civil action.

SO ORDERED this 30 day of /Ij^cL

,2015, at Augusta, Georgia.
