Thompson v. Broadus

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF OHIO
EASTERN DIVISION
Goldy Thompson,
Plaintiff, 	Case No. 2:25-cv-1279
v. 	District Judge James L. Graham
Magistrate Judge Kimberly A. Jolson
Calvin Broadus, et al.,
Defendants.
Order
This matter is before the Court on the Magistrate Judge’s December 18, 2025 Report and
Recommendation. The Magistrate Judge considered whether venue is proper in the Southern District
of Ohio. See 28 U.S.C. § 1391. She concluded that it is not because defendants reside in California
and the complaint does not identify any act or omission that took place in this district.
No objections to the Report and Recommendation have been filed. Upon review, the Court
agrees with the Report and Recommendation (Doc. 6) and adopts it in its entirety. The complaint is
DISMISSED without prejudice for lack of venue, and plaintiff’s motion for leave to proceed in forma
pauperis (Doc. 1) is denied as moot.
