LONNELL HUGHES, Plaintiff, v. ALLEGHENY COUNTY AIRPORT AUTHORITY, Defendant.
District Judge Nora Barry Fischer
Magistrate Judge Cynthia Reed Eddy
MEMORANDUM ORDER
On January 4, 2011, the above captioned ease was field in this Court and was referred to a magistrate judge for pretrial proceedings in accordance with the Magistrate Judges Act, 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1), and Rules 72.C and 72.D of the Local Rubs of Court for Magistrate Judges.
The Magistrate Judge filed a Report and Recommendation on January 13, 2012, (doc. no. 8) recommending that the action be dismissed because Plaintiff's complaint fails to state a cause of action and "is woefully short of the facts and particulars fiat would put defendant Allegheny County Airport Authority on notice of what it is Plaintiff is Maiming it did to him that requires redress. He seems to be stating a claim for retaliation of some sort, for filing a law suit of some sort, the retaliation having something to do with being 'put on' his wife's insurance, or not. If and when Allegheny County Airport Authority is served with his complaint, it will have only a vague idea of the nature and none of the particulars of his claim. As it stands now, Plaintiff's complaint is frivolous because it lacks an arguable basis either in law or in fact." Id. At 7.
The Report and Recommendation recommended that Plaintiff's complaint be dismissed, with leave of court to amend the complaint to attempt to cure its obvious deficiencies, and Plaintiff was given until January 31, 2012, to file an Amended Complaint or Objections to the Report and Recommendation, and a copy of the Report and Recommendation was sent to him at his listed address. Neither Amended Complaint nor Objections have been filed.
After de novo review of the pleadings and documents in the case, together with the Report and Recommendation, the following order is entered:
AND NOW, this 13th day of February, 2012;
IT IS ORDERED that the Report and Recommendation [ECF No. 8] dated January 13, 2012, is ADOPTED as the Opinion of the Court.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that this action is DISMISSED, and that the Clerk of Court mark this case CLOSED.
AND IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that pursuant to Rule 4(a)(1) of the Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure, Plaintiff has thirty (30) days to file a notice of appeal as provided by Rule 3 of the Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure.
