Pro se plaintiff Grace Albanese brings this civil rights complaint against the FBI for

12

violations of her due process and equal protection rights, and she also applied to proceed in forma

13

pauperis.1 Magistrate Judge Koppe granted Albanese’s application to proceed in forma pauperis

14

and, after screening her complaint, found that Albanese failed to state a claim.2 Judge Koppe,

15

therefore, dismissed Albanese’s complaint with leave to amend.3 After screening Albanese’s

16

amended complaint,4 Judge Koppe found that Albanese still failed to state a claim and concluded

17

that further amendment would be futile.5 Judge Koppe, therefore, recommends that I dismiss this

18

case.6
The report and recommendation was entered July 6, 2017, making July 20, 2017, the

19
20

deadline to file an objection. Albanese has not filed any objection to the report and

4

ACCEPTED and ADOPTED; Albanese’s claims are DISMISSED. The Clerk of Court is directed
