UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
DISTRICT OF MINNESOTA
STEPHEN LAWRENCE TODD, JR., also
known as Stephen Lee Blanks,
Plaintiff,
v.

Case No. 16-CV-3381 (JNE/SER)
ORDER

SAMSON O. ALIMI,
Defendant.

This matter is before the Court on a Report and Recommendation (“R&R”) issued by the
Honorable Steven E. Rau, United States Magistrate Judge, on February 9, 2017. (Dkt. No. 8.)
The Court received no objections to the R&R. Nevertheless, the Court conducted a de novo
review of the record. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1); Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b)(3); D. Minn. LR
72.2(b)(3). This action is similar to an action previously brought by Todd, No. 16-CV-2741.
Todd complains of the same conduct in this action as in that previous action. The only notable
difference is that this action is against a different defendant. The Court dismissed Todd’s
previous action for lack of subject-matter jurisdiction and denied as moot his application to
proceed in forma pauperis. The Court does the same in this action for the same reasons.
Therefore, IT IS ORDERED THAT:
1.

This action is DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE.

2.

Plaintiff Stephen Lawrence Todd, Jr.’s application to proceed in forma
pauperis [Dkt. No. 2] is DENIED AS MOOT.

LET JUDGMENT BE ENTERED ACCORDINGLY.
Dated: March 3, 2017.
