BEFORE THIS COURT is the Report and Recommendation of the United States Magistrate Judge Linda R. Anderson [doc. no. 8]. Plaintiff, Torey C. Smith, pro se, appeared before the Magistrate Judge for a hearing on his Application to Proceed In Forma Pauperis.

Accordingly, this court dismisses the Defendants President Donald Trump and the Clinton Police Department without prejudice, as consistent with the Plaintiff's express wishes.
