STEVEN JAMES TURBEVILLE,
Plaintiff,
v.
JEREMY MYERS et al.,
Defendants.

NO. 3:18-CV-64
REEVES/GUYTON

MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before the Court is United States Magistrate Judge Guyton’s Report and Recommendation
(“R&R”) [D. 4]. Judge Guyton recommends that although Steven Turbeville’s motion for leave to
proceed in forma pauperis [D. 3] should be granted, his complaint should be dismissed for jurisdictional deficiencies. There have been no objections to the R&R, and enough time has passed to
treat any objection as forfeited. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1); FED. R. CIV. P. 72(b)(2).
After reviewing the record, the Court agrees with the R&R and hereby ADOPTS it. For
the reasons stated in the R&R, Mr. Turbeville’s motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis
[D. 3] is GRANTED. However, because his complaint [D. 1] must be DISMISSED for lack of
federal jurisdiction, this suit is hereby DISMISSED without prejudice.
