On January 31, 2007, the magistrate judge issued a Report (Doc. 34) recommending that the Plaintiff's First Amendment claims against the Valentics be dismissed with prejudice, and that the court decline to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over the state law claims asserted against them. Service of the Report and Recommendation was made on the parties, and the Plaintiff filed objections on February 16, 2007. See Doc. 35.
After a de novo review of the pleadings and documents in the case, together with the Report and Recommendation and the objections thereto, the following Order is entered:
AND NOW, on this 29th day of March, 2007, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the First Amendment claims against the Valentics ( see Compl. at Count I) are DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE, and the state law claims against them ( see id. at Count III) are DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE to refile in state court.
Thus, the only claims that remain are found in Count IV, which are subject to a report and recommendation filed March 15, 2007 recommending their dismissal See generally (Doc. No. 32 and Doc. No. 38)
The Report and Recommendation of Magistrate Judge Caiazza dated January 31, 2007 is hereby adopted as the opinion of the District Court.
