ORDER AFFIRMING THE RECOMMENDED DECISION OF THE MAGISTRATE JUDGE
NANCY TORRESEN, UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
On May 16, 2023, the United States Magistrate Judge filed with the Court, with a copy to the Plaintiff, her Recommended Decision after a preliminary review of the Plaintiff's Complaint (ECF No. 1) under 28 U.S.C. § 1915. Recommended Decision (ECF No. 6). The time within which to file objections has expired, and no objections have been filed. The Magistrate Judge notified the parties that failure to object would waive their right to de novo review and appeal.
It is therefore ORDERED that the Recommended Decision of the Magistrate Judge is hereby ADOPTED. It is further ORDERED that, in accordance with 28 U.S.C. § 1915, the Plaintiff's complaint is DISMISSED.
Further, given that Plaintiff has filed two other baseless cases in this Court (Norton v. Biden, No. 1:22-cv-00274-NT, and Norton v. Univ. of Me.-Orono Physics Dep't, No. 1:20-cv-00030-JAW), I hereby place the Plaintiff on NOTICE that filing restrictions “may be in the offing.” Cok v. Fam. Ct. of R. I., 985 F.2d 32, 35 (1st Cir. 1993). This represents the “cautionary order” of which Cok speaks. Id. Groundless and inappropriate filings will not be tolerated.
SO ORDERED.
Dated this 8th day of June, 2023.
