UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
DISTRICT OF MINNESOTA
Amadou Diabate,
Plaintiff,
v.

Case No. 18-cv-569 (JNE/SER)
ORDER

Minneapolis Public Housing Authority and
Securitas,
Defendant.
On March 16, 2018, the Honorable Steven E. Rau, United States Magistrate Judge,
recommended that this action be dismissed without prejudice for lack of subject-matter
jurisdiction and that Plaintiff’s application to proceed in forma pauperis be denied as
moot. Plaintiff objected. The Court has conducted a de novo review of the record. See
D. Minn. LR 72.2(b). Because Plaintiff has not adequately alleged the basis for the
Court’s subject-matter jurisdiction over this action, the Court accepts the recommended
disposition. 1 Therefore, IT IS ORDERED THAT:
1.

This action is DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE for lack of subjectmatter jurisdiction.

2.

Plaintiff’s application to proceed in forma pauperis [Docket No. 2] is
DENIED as moot.

LET JUDGMENT BE ENTERED ACCORDINGLY.
Dated: April 24, 2018
