On 	February 	4th, 	2026, 	Magistrate 	Judge 	Sally 	J. 	Berens 	issued 	a 	Report 	and
Recommendation (R&R) recommending that the Court dismiss this action for lack of subject

IT IS ORDERED that the R&R (ECF No. 7) is APPROVED and ADOPTED as the
opinion of the Court.

taken in good faith. 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3).
