Fink et al Doc. 7 IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF MONTANA BUTTE DIVISION MUIRIA ARMSTRONG, M.A. on behalf of minor son, Plaintiff, FILED MAY 08 2014 Clerk, u.s District Court District Of Montana Missoula CV 14-23-BU-DWM-JCL ORDER vs. BARBARA FINK, et aI., Defendants. This matter comes before the Court on Plaintiff Muiria Armstrong's proposed Complaint, in which she seeks relief with respect to the custody of her son, M.A. (Doc. 2). Magistrate Judge Jeremiah Lynch entered findings and recommendations on April 10, 2014, recommending this matter be dismissed. (Doc. 3.) Armstrong is entitled to de novo review of the specified findings or recommendations to which she objects. 28 U.S.C. ยง 636(b)(1). The Court reviews the findings and recommendations that are not specifically objected to for clear error. McDonnell Douglas Corp. v. Commodore Bus. Mach., Inc., 656 F.2d 1309, 1 Dockets.Justia.com 1313 (9th Cir. 1981). Armstrong filed an "Objection to Dismiss RQST for Counsel" on April 30, 2014. (Doc. 6.) Although Armstrong has labeled her filing as an "objection," the document merely reasserts her grievances, failing to directly address Judge Lynch's analysis or conclusion. In the absence of specific objections, the Court reviews Judge Lynch's determination that the Court must abstain under Younger v. Harris, 401 U.S. 37, 43-45 (1971) for clear error. Finding none, the Court adopts the findings and recommendation. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that Judge Lynch's Findings and Recommendation (Doc. 3) are ADOPTED IN FULL. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that this action is DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE. Dated this ~ day of May, 2014. Hoy, District Judge .strict Court 2
