Senior United States District Judge
DECISION & ORDER
I.
INTRODUCTION
This pro se action brought pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 was referred to the Hon.
David E. Peebles, Chief United States Magistrate Judge, for a Report and Recommendation
pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b) and Local Rule 72.3(c). No objections to Magistrate Judge
Peebles’ Report and Recommendation [dkt. # 24] have been filed, and the time to do so
has expired.
II.
DISCUSSION
After examining the record, this Court has determined that the Report and
Recommendation is not subject to attack for plain error or manifest injustice.
III.
CONCLUSION
Accordingly, the Court ADOPTS the Report and Recommendation [dkt. # 24] for the
1
reasons stated therein. Therefore, plaintiff's amended complaint [dkt. # 12] is DISMISSED
as frivolous, with leave to replead only with respect to claims that do not directly relate to
plaintiff's attempt to regain custody of her biological daughter.
If plaintiff elects to file a second amended complaint, she must do so within thirty (30)
days from the date of this Decision and Order. Plaintiff is advised that an amended
complaint supersedes in all respects the prior pleading. Therefore, if plaintiff files a
second amended complaint, she must properly allege in the second amended
complaint all factual bases for all claims asserted therein, and the second amended
complaint must be in compliance with Rules 8 and 10 of the Federal Rules of Civil
Procedure as explained by Magistrate Judge Peebles. The failure to file a second
amended complaint within this time frame will be deemed an abandonment of any other
potential claims arising from this matter, and the Court Clerk’s Office will close this file and
enter judgment for defendants.
Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss [dkt. # 30], is denied without prejudice as moot.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
