ORDER ACCEPTING REPORT AND
RECOMMENDATION AND
DISMISSING CASE
(ECF No. 3)

On October 17, 2017, Magistrate Judge Foley recommended I dismiss with prejudice

11

plaintiff Robert Jackson’s claims against the John Doe U.S. Attorney defendant because that

12

defendant would be entitled to prosecutorial immunity. ECF No. 3. Magistrate Judge Foley also

13

recommended I dismiss without prejudice Jackson’s claims against defendant Diego Grimaldo

14

because it was unclear from the complaint whether Jackson’s claims were barred under Heck v.

15

Humphrey, 512 U.S. 477, 480 (1994). Id. Jackson filed a response in which he disputed some of

16

the Magistrate Judge’s ruling, but Jackson nevertheless requests to voluntarily dismiss his claims

17

without prejudice. ECF No. 4.

I conducted a de novo review. 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1). Judge Foley sets forth the proper
legal analysis and factual basis for the decision.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that Magistrate Judge Foley’s report and

21

recommendation (ECF No. 3) is accepted. Plaintiff Robert Jackson’s claims against defendant

22

John Doe U.S. Attorney are dismissed with prejudice. Jackson’s claims against defendant Diego

23

Grimaldo are dismissed without prejudice. The clerk of court is instructed to close this case.
