CIVIL ACTION NO. 2:25-CV-00262
JEFFERY HILDEBRAND,
Defendant.
ORDER ADOPTING MEMORANDUM AND RECOMMENDATION
OF UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
Pending before the Court is Plaintiff’s complaint (D.E. 1, 9) for initial screening
under the Prison Litigation Reform Act. See 42 U.S.C. § 1997e(c); 28 U.S.C. §§1915(e)(2),
1915A. On October 20, 2025, United States Magistrate Judge Mitchel Neurock issued a
Memorandum and Recommendation (M&R, D.E. 10), recommending that Plaintiff’s
action be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction.
Thereafter, Plaintiff timely filed his objections (D.E. 13) and an untimely letter
(D.E. 15). These documents offer two arguments: (1) that Plaintiff has to proceed in federal
court because the state court cannot award him the monetary damages he seeks—in excess
of $2 billion; and (2) nobody told him to file a worker’s compensation claim in order to
exhaust his administrative remedies. Neither argument addresses this Court’s limited
subject matter jurisdiction and the objections are OVERRULED.

2 / 2
Having reviewed the findings of fact, conclusions of law, and recommendations set
forth in the Magistrate Judge’s Memorandum and Recommendation, as well as Plaintiff’s
objections, and all other relevant documents in the record, and having made a de novo
disposition of the portions of the Magistrate Judge’s Memorandum and Recommendation
to which objections were specifically directed, the Court OVERRULES Plaintiff’s
objections and ADOPTS as its own the findings and conclusions of the Magistrate Judge.
Accordingly, this action is DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE for lack of subject
matter jurisdiction.
ORDERED on November 24, 2025.
