OPINION and ORDER

This matter is before the court on Plaintiff’s pro se complaint alleging various violations of
state and federal law. In accordance with 28 U.S.C. § 636(b) and Local Civil Rule 73.02 (B)(2)(e),
DSC, this matter was referred to United States Magistrate Judge Paige J. Gossett for pre-trial

provided additional time to serve Defendants and provide proof of service to the court by November

not been effected and that he understands that the court “now [has] to dismiss my complaint.” ECF
No. 47. Accordingly, this matter is dismissed without prejudice.
