OEDER ACCEPTING FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS, AND RECOMMENDATION OF THE UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
The United States Magistrate Judge made findings, conclusions, and a recommendation in this case [ECF No. 4]. An objection was filed by Plaintiff [ECF No. 5]. The District Court reviewed de novo those portions of the proposed findings, conclusions, and recommendation to which objections were made, and reviewed the remaining proposed findings, conclusions, and recommendation for plain error. Finding no error, the Court ACCEPTS the Findings, Conclusions, and Recommendation of the United States Magistrate Judge.
The Court likewise DISMISSES Plaintiffs Supplemental Complaint [ECF No. 6]. In the Supplemental Complaint, Plaintiff asserts an additional cause of action under 18 U.S.C. § 2251 A. Plaintiff again attempts to state a federal cause of action under a criminal statute that does not afford Plaintiff civil relief. See 18 U.S.C. § 2255 (proving a civil cause of action only to minor victims); see also Doe v. Liberatore, 478 F.Supp.2d 742, 754 (M.D. Pa. 2007) (18 U.S.C. § 2255 "provides child victims of sexual abuse, molestation and exploitation with a federal cause of action for money damages."). Accordingly, the Court dismisses Plaintiffs Complaint with prejudice as frivolous for the reasons stated in the Findings, Conclusions, and Recommendation of the United States Magistrate Judge, notwithstanding the additional claim Plaintiff asserts in the Supplemental Complaint.
SO ORDERED.
