ORDER
This civil matter is before the Court on the Report and Recommendations (the
“R&R”) entered by United States Magistrate Judge Jill E. McCook on July 8, 2022
[Doc. 11]. In the R&R, Judge McCook granted plaintiff’s motion for leave to proceed in
forma pauperis [Doc. 2]. Additionally, after screening the complaint, Judge McCook
recommended that the Court dismiss the complaint because plaintiff’s claims are meritless
and deny the outstanding motions to dismiss [Docs. 6, 8, 9] as futile. There have been no
timely objections to the R&R, and enough time has passed since the filing of the R&R to
treat any objections as having been waived. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1); Fed. R. Civ. P. 72.

s

After a careful review of the matter, the Court agrees with Judge McCook’s
recommendations. Accordingly, the Court ACCEPTS IN WHOLE the R&R [Doc. 11].
Therefore, this action is hereby DISMISSED, the pending motions to amend [Docs. 6, 8,
9] are DENIED as futile, and the Clerk of Court is DIRECTED to CLOSE this case.
IT IS SO ORDERED.

s/ Thomas A. Varlan
UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
