GREAT FALLS DIVISION

JACOB RYAN MURIE,

Plaintiff,
vs.
ORDER ADOPTING FINDINGS AND
RECOMMENDATIONS

CROSSROADS CORRECTIONAL
CENTER,
Defendant.

United States Magistrate Judge John Johnston entered Findings and
Recommendations in this matter April 13, 2017. (Doc. 9.) Neither party filed
objections. When a party makes no objections, the Court need not review de novo
the proposed Findings and Recommendations. Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 14952 (1986). This Court will review Judge Johnston’s Findings and
Recommendations, however, for clear error. McDonnell Douglas Corp. v.
Commodore Bus. Mach., Inc., 656 F.2d 1309, 1313 (9th Cir. 1981).
Plaintiff Murie filed a Complaint and an Amended Complaint pursuant to 42
U.S.C. § 1983, as a pro se litigant. (Doc. 1, 6.) The Court issued an Order on
February 24, 2017, that determined that the Complaint and the Amended
1

Complaint failed to state a claim. (Doc. 7.) The Court’s Order gave Murie until
March 31, 2017, to file a second amended complaint that would correct the
deficiencies in the first two Complaints. Id. Murie has failed to file a second
amended complaint. The Court’s Order specifically advised Murie that his failure
to file a second amended complaint by March 31, 2017, would result in the
dismissal of this action with prejudice. Id. at 11.
Judge Johnston recommended that the Court dismiss this matter with
prejudice for failure to state a claim, for the reasons set forth in the Court’s
February 24, 2017, Order. Doc. 9 at 1, citing Doc. 7. The Court has reviewed
Judge Johnston’s Findings and Recommendations for clear error. The Court finds
no error in Judge Johnston’s Findings and Recommendations and adopts them in
full.
IT IS ORDERED that Judge Johnston’s Findings and Recommendations
(Doc. 9) is ADOPTED IN FULL.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that this matter is DISMISSED WITH
PREJUDICE for failure to state a claim The Clerk of Court is directed to close this
matter and enter judgment pursuant to Rule 58 of the Federal Rules of Civil
Procedure.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Clerk of Court is directed to have
the docket reflect that this dismissal counts as a strike pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §
2

1915(g), for failure to state a claim and that the Court certifies pursuant to Rule
24(a)(3)(A) of the Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure that any appeal of this
decision would not be taken in good faith.
DATED this 23rd day of May, 2017.
