Two days later, Plaintiff filed an amended objection,

which the R&R was filed; she had mistakenly cited March 12 as the
date of the R&R instead of April 12.

Plaintiff’s amended Complaint is seeking to relitigate the property

Moreover, as explained in the R&R currently pending before the Court,
Plaintiff fails to state a claim against the Family Court and its
judges upon which relief may be granted.
The Court therefore ACCEPTS the R&R (ECF No. 19) and adopts the
reasoning set forth therein.
Plaintiff’s amended Complaint and Jury

Motions for Extension of Time (ECF Nos. 20, 23) are DENIED AS MOOT.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
