CIVIL ACTION NO. 4:24-CV-3961
ORDER ADOPTING MAGISTRATE JUDGE’S
MEMORANDUM AND RECOMMENDATION
On May 22, 2025, this case was referred to United States Magistrate Judge Peter
Bray for all pretrial purposes. (Dkt. 34). Judge Bray filed a Memorandum and
Recommendation on November 3, 2025, recommending that this case be DISMISSED
WITHOUT PREJUDICE on Defendants’ motion for lack of subject matter jurisdiction
and that several other motions be denied. (Dkt. 60).
No objections have been filed to the Memorandum and Recommendation.
Accordingly, the Court reviews the Memorandum and Recommendation for plain error on
the face of the record. 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1); see also Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b)(3).
Based on the pleadings, the record, and the applicable law, the Court finds that there
is no plain error apparent from the face of the record. Accordingly, it is hereby ORDERED
and ADJUDGED that:
