No. 2:17-cv-02581-SHL-dkv

ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
Before the Court is Chief Magistrate Judge Diane K. Vescovo’s Report and
Recommendation for Sua Sponte Dismissal (“Report”) (ECF No. 7), filed September 18, 2017,
recommending that the Court sua sponte dismiss Plaintiff’s pro se Complaint.
A magistrate judge may submit to a judge of the court proposed findings of fact and
recommendations for dismissal of a complaint for lack of standing or for failure to state a claim
pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(6). 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B). “Within 14
days after being served with a copy of the recommended disposition, a party may serve and file
specific written objections to the proposed findings and recommendations.” Fed. R. Civ. P.
72(b)(2); see also 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1). A district court reviews de novo only those proposed
findings of fact or conclusions of law to which a party specifically objects. 28 U.S.C.
§ 636(b)(1); see also Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b)(3).
The deadline to object to the Report has passed, and Plaintiff has filed no objections. The
Court has reviewed the Report for clear error and finds none. Therefore, the Court ADOPTS the
Magistrate Judge’s Report. Plaintiff’s claims are DISMISSED for failure to state a claim.

IT IS SO ORDERED, this 13th day of October, 2017.
