CHARLES E. JONES, Plaintiff, v. FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION, Defendant.


Collier McCook Magistrate Judge Judge

JUDGMENT ORDER

CURTIS L. COLLIER UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE

United States Magistrate Judge Jill E. McCook filed a report and recommendation (the “R&R”) on Plaintiff's complaint (Doc. 2) and recommended that the complaint be dismissed. (Doc. 9.) The R&R recommends the case be dismissed because “the FBI is entitled to sovereign immunity for any claim related to the FBI's investigation and enforcement activities,” “[the Plaintiff] fails to state a claim of relief,” and because “there is no indication that Plaintiff has properly brought a tort claim against the FBI in this action.” (Id. at 7.) Neither party has objected to the R&R within the given fourteen days.

After reviewing the record, the Court agrees with the R&R (Doc. 9). The Court hereby ACCEPTS and ADOPTS the R&R (Doc. 9). Plaintiff's complaint is DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE. Furthermore, because this case is dismissed, Plaintiff's motion to appoint counsel (Doc. 3) is DENIED as MOOT.

SO ORDERED.
