JEREMY MYERS et al., Defendants. NO. 3:18-CV-64 REEVES/GUYTON MEMORANDUM OPINION Before the Court is United States Magistrate Judge Guyton’s Report and Recommendation (“R&R”) [D. 4]. Judge Guyton recommends that although Steven Turbeville’s motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis [D. 3] should be granted, his complaint should be dismissed for jurisdictional deficiencies. There have been no objections to the R&R, and enough time has passed to treat any objection as forfeited. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1); FED. R. CIV. P. 72(b)(2). After reviewing the record, the Court agrees with the R&R and hereby ADOPTS it. For the reasons stated in the R&R, Mr. Turbeville’s motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis [D. 3] is GRANTED. However, because his complaint [D. 1] must be DISMISSED for lack of federal jurisdiction, this suit is hereby DISMISSED without prejudice.
