IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE MIDDLE DISTRICT OF PENNSYLVANIA
GERRAL E. INGRAM,
Plaintiff
v.
OFFICER TYLER CORTER,
Defendant
No. 4:25cv1022
(Judge Munley)
(Chief Magistrate Judge Bloom)

ORDER
Presently before the court is the Report and Recommendation ("R&R") of
Chief Magistrate Judge Daryl F. Bloom-the third R&R with respect to prose
Plaintiff Gerral E. Ingram's civil rights claims . 	The R&R before the court
recommends dismissal of Ingram's second amended complaint pursuant to 28
U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B)(ii)-the third R&R concluding that plaintiff's allegations fail
to state a claim under 42 U.S.C. § 1983.
The R&R was issued on February 13 , 2026. 	Parties have 14 days to file
objections to an R&R after being served with a copy of the recommended
disposition. FED R. CIv. P. 72(b)(2); M.D.PA. L.R. 72 .3. 	No objections to the R&R
have been filed and the time for such filing has passed . Although this matter
involves the conduct of an officer of the Williamsport Bureau of Police, there is no
indication that Ingram is presently incarcerated from that incident or for any other.
Ingram has not requested an extension. 	Thus, the R&R is ready for review.

In deciding whether to adopt the report and recommendation when no
timely objection is filed , the court must determine if a review of the record
evidences plain error or manifest injustice. FED . R. CIv. P. 72(b ), 1983 Advisory
Committee Notes ("When no timely objection is filed , the court need only satisfy
itself that there is no clear error on the face of the record to accept the
recommendation"); see also 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1 ); Sullivan v. Cuyler, 723 F.2d
1077, 1085 (3d Cir. 1983).
After a careful review, the court finds neither clear error on the face of the
record nor a manifest injustice, and therefore, the court shall accept the R&R and
adopt it in its entirety. 	The court has provided Ingram with several opportunities
to amend his complaint. 	Ingram has amended once on his own accord . At this
juncture, plaintiff will not be able to file a pleading that states a claim . Because
amendment would be futile , it is hereby ORDERED as follows:
1) The R&R, (Doc. 14), is ADOPTED in its entirety;
2) Plaintiff's second amended complaint is DISMISSED with prejudice for
failure to state a claim ; and
3) The Clerk of Court is directed to close this case.
