IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF KANSAS

CEDRIC GREENE,
Plaintiff,

vs.

Case No. 18-1014-EFM

GREYHOUND LINES, INC.,

Defendant.

ORDER ADOPTING R&R and DISMISS CASE
On February 6, 2018, the United States Magistrate Judge assigned to this case issued a
Report and Recommendation, recommending that the Complaint be dismissed for improper
venue. The R&R also noted that the Court lacked sufficient information to demonstrate its
jurisdiction over the defendant, and the case was also therefore subject to dismissal for lack of
personal jurisdiction; and that in fact the Plaintiff had admitted that the Court lacked jurisdiction.
It therefore recommended that the claims be dismissed under 28 U.S.C. 1915(e)(2)(B), and
instructed the Plaintiff to file any written objections to the proposed findings and conclusions
within fourteen days.
Plaintiff responded by filing his Objections to Findings and Recommendations of the
Magistrate Judge, and in Alternative Request for Change of Venue. However his Objections
show no reason why the Magistrate Judge's recommendations that the Court was an improper
venue for the claims, or that it lacked jurisdiction over the defendants, were legally erroneous.

And upon this showing, the Court declines to order this case be transferred to a court where
venue might properly exist.
The Report and Recommendation is therefore adopted by this Court as its own, and the
case is accordingly dismissed.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED, that pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §1915(e)(2)(B) Plaintiff’s
Complaint is Dismissed and this case is closed.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
Dated this 27th day of February, 2018 in Wichita, Kansas.
