JOSHUA MALLORY, Plaintiff, v. LEGAL CLINIC, Defendant.


ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION AND DISMISSING COMPLAINT

SHERYL H. LIPMAN, UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE

Before the Court is Magistrate Judge Charmiane G. Claxton's Report and Recommendation, (ECF No. 7), filed July 12, 2021, granting Plaintiff's in forma pauperis application and recommending that the Court dismiss Plaintiff's Complaint, (ECF No. 1).

A magistrate judge may submit to a judge of the court proposed findings of fact and recommendations for dismissal of a complaint for failure to state a claim. 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B). “Within 14 days after being served with a copy of the recommended disposition, a party may serve and file specific written objections to the proposed findings and recommendations.” Fed.R.Civ.P. 72(b)(2); see also 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1) (2017). A district court reviews de novo only those proposed findings of fact or conclusions of law to which a party specifically objects; the rest are reviewed for clear error. 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1); Fed.R.Civ.P. 72(b)(3).

Plaintiff has not objected to the Magistrate Judge's Report and Recommendation. (ECF No. 7.) The time to do so has expired. The Court has reviewed the Report for clear error and finds none. Specifically, Plaintiff's failure to allege how the Legal Clinic was acting under color of state law and what specific actions it took to deprive him of his right dooms this Complaint.

Therefore, the Court ADOPTS the Magistrate Judge's Report and DISMISSES the Complaint without prejudice.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
