BRIAN J. TEATOR
Plaintiff, Pro Se
984 State Route 79
Windsor, NY 13865
Hon. Anthony Brindisi, U.S. District Judge:
ORDER ON REPORT & RECOMMENDATION
On January 23, 2025, pro se plaintiff Brian Teator (“plaintiff”) filed this action alleging
that defendant Eileen Shedroff (“defendant”) violated some order of protection and, among other
things, caused damage to his father’s home. See Dkt. No. 1. Along with his complaint, plaintiff
moved for leave to proceed in forma pauperis (“IFP Application”). Dkt. No. 2.
On November 17, 2025, U.S. Magistrate Judge Paul J. Evangelista granted plaintiff’s IFP
Application and, after an initial review, advised by Report & Recommendation (“R&R”) that the
complaint be dismissed without leave to amend. Dkt. No. 4. There, Judge Evangelista explained
that the complaint did not plausibly allege any basis for jurisdiction in federal court. Id. Judge
Evangelista further explained that in fact, plaintiff’s complaint appeared to seek various forms of

relief that a federal court cannot provide. See id. Accordingly, Judge Evangelista recommended
that plaintiff’s complaint be dismissed without prejudice but without leave to amend. Id.
Plaintiff has not lodged objections to the R&R, and the time period in which to do so has
expired. See Dkt. No. 4. Upon review for clear error, the R&R is accepted and will be adopted
in all respects. See F ED. R. C IV. P. 72(b).
Therefore, it is
ORDERED that
1. The Report & Recommendation (Dkt. No. 4) is ACCEPTED; and
2. Plaintiff’s complaint (Dkt. No. 1) is DISMISSED without leave to amend.
The Clerk of the Court is directed to terminate the pending motions, enter a judgment
accordingly, and close the file.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
