UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
DISTRICT OF MINNESOTA
Civil No. 17-1630(DSD/LIB)
Dannez Hunter, Individual
Direct Heir, from the Estate
of Anna Short Harrington, and
Olivia Hunter a/k/a (“Aunt Jemima”),
Plaintiff,
v.

ORDER

John D.J. Rockefeller, IV, sued
in his individual and official
capacity, et al.,
Defendants.
This matter is before the court upon the objections by pro se
plaintiff

Dannez

W.

Hunter

to

the

June

8,

2017,

report

recommendation of Magistrate Judge Leo I. Brisbois (R&R).

and
The

magistrate judge recommends that the court dismiss the case as
frivolous.

The magistrate judge further recommends that Hunter’s

related motions be denied.

Hunter timely objected to the R&R.

The court reviews the R&R de novo.

28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C);

Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b); D. Minn. L.R. 72.2(b).

After a thorough

review of the file and record, the court finds that the R&R is
well-reasoned and correct and that Hunter’s objection should be
overruled.

Indeed,

Hunter’s

arguments

as

set

forth

in

objection are patently baseless and, at times, incoherent.
Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:
1.

The objection to the R&R [ECF No. 8] is overruled;

2.

The R&R [ECF No. 7] is adopted in its entirety;

the

3.

The action is dismissed without prejudice; and

4.

The remaining pending motions [ECF Nos. 2, 4, and 5] are

denied as moot.
LET JUDGMENT BE ENTERED ACCORDINGLY.
