Quade v. Quade Doc. 18 IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF NEW MEXICO CHARLES RICHARD QUADE, Plaintiff, v. No. 1:19-cv-00125-MV-SCY JANE ANNE (CAREY) QUADE, et al., Defendants. MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER OF DISMISSAL THIS MATTER comes before the Court on Plaintiff’s failure to timely file an amended complaint. Plaintiff filed a Civil Rights Complaint Pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 to set aside a divorce decree issued by a Texas state court. See Doc. 1, filed February 13, 2019 ("Complaint"). United States Magistrate Judge Steven C. Yarbrough notified Plaintiff that the Complaint failed to state a claim pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983, that several of the Defendants had judicial immunity from monetary damages claims, and that this Court does not have subject-matter jurisdiction to review a case that was resolved in a state court. See Doc. 13 at 2-3. Judge Yarbrough granted Plaintiff leave to file an amended complaint which contains a short and plain statement of the grounds for the Court's jurisdiction and states a claim on which relief may be granted as to each of the Defendants. Judge Yarbrough also notified Plaintiff that failure to timely file such an amended complaint may result in dismissal of the case without prejudice. Plaintiff did not file an amended complaint by the April 29, 2019, deadline. The Court will, therefore, dismiss this case without prejudice and will deny the motions to strike filed by Defendant Quade's attorney as moot. Dockets.Justia.com IT IS ORDERED that: (i) This case is DISMISSED without prejudice. (ii) Defendant Quade's Motion to Strike, Doc. 11, filed March 27, 2019, is DENIED as moot. (iii) Defendant Quade's Second Motion to Strike, Doc. 16, filed April 12, 2019, is DENIED as moot. _________________________________ MARTHA VÁZQUEZ UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE 2
