MOSSAMAT K. REKHA, Plaintiff, v. UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Defendant.
ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
Plaintiff Mossamat K. Rekha, proceeding pro se, commenced this action pursuant to 7 U.S.C. § 2023(a)(13) on December 17, 2015, seeking judicial review of a Final Agency Decision by the United States Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition Service. (See Compl. (Doc. No. 1).) On November 16, 2016, the government filed an unopposed motion for summary judgment. (See Mot. (Doc. No. 27).) This Court subsequently referred the motion to Magistrate Judge Lois Bloom for decision. (See 4/17/17 Order.) On August 3, 2017, Judge Bloom issued a Report and Recommendation ("R&R"), a copy of which was sent via first class mail to Rekha, recommending that the government's motion be granted and the case dismissed. (See R&R (Doc. No. 29).) Judge Bloom reminded the parties that, pursuant to Rule 72(b), any objections to the R&R must be filed within 14 days from service of the R&R. (Id.) No party has filed any objection.
Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b) and Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 72, the Court has reviewed the R&R for clear error and, finding none, concurs with the R&R in its entirety. See Covey v. Simonton, 481 F. Supp. 2d 224, 226 (E.D.N.Y. 2007).
CONCLUSION
Accordingly, it is hereby ordered that the government's motion for summary judgment (Doc. No. 27) is granted, and the case is dismissed.
The Court certifies pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3) that any appeal from this order would not be taken in good faith and therefore in forma pauperis status is denied for the purpose of an appeal. Coppedge v. United States, 369 U.S. 438, 444-45 (1962).
The Clerk of Court is directed to enter judgment, close the case, mail a copy of this Memorandum and Order and accompanying judgment to Rekha, and note the mailing on the docket.
