SHERIFF DEPT., Defendants. ___________________________________________ Thomas J. McAvoy, Sr. U.S. District Judge DECISION & ORDER The Court referred this pro se civil action, brought pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1332, to Magistrate Judge Miroslav Lovric for a Report-Recommendation pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b) and Local Rule 72.3(c). Plaintiff alleges that Defendants, state officials, injured him in a variety of ways by targeting and harassing him. Magistrate Judge Lovric’s Report-Recommendation, dkt. # 5, issued on June 4, 2020, finds that Plaintiff has failed to allege facts sufficient to state a claim against any of the Defendants and recommends that the Court dismiss the claim with leave to replead. Magistrate Judge Lovric finds that Plaintiff has not alleged complete diversity and thus failed to assert subject-matter jurisdiction. Recognizing that Plaintiff proceeds pro se, Magistrate Judge Lovric recommends that Plaintiff be permitted to re-plead his complaint. 1 Dockets.Justia.com Case 5:20-cv-00412-TJM-ML Document 6 Filed 07/16/20 Page 2 of 2 Plaintiff did not object to the Report-Recommendation, and the time for such objections has passed.

Accordingly, The Report-Recommendation of Magistrate Judge Lovric, dkt. # 5, is hereby ACCEPTED and ADOPTED. Plaintiff’s Complaint is hereby DISMISSED without prejudice to repleading. IT IS SO ORDERED. Dated:July 16, 2020 2
