IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE MIDDLE DISTRICT OF GEORGIA MACON DIVISION JONATHAN J ROOKS, Plaintiff, v. CIVIL ACTION NO. 5:24-cv-000164-TES-AGH SUPERIOR COURT OF WASHINGTON COUNTY, et al., Defendants.

ORDER ADOPTING THE UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE’S REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION

No party filed an objection to the United States Magistrate Judge’s Report & Recommendation (“R&R”) [Doc. 7] regarding pro se Plaintiff Jonathan J. Rooks’s Complaint [Doc. 1] and pending Motion to Disqualify [Doc. 5].1 See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C); Fed. R. Civ. P. 6(a)(1) & (d). Having reviewed the R&R for clear error, the Court ADOPTS it [Doc. 7] and MAKES IT THE ORDER OF THE COURT.

Accordingly, the Court DISMISSES this case without prejudice for failure to state a claim and DENIES as moot Plaintiff’s Motion to Disqualify [Doc. 5] and Motion for Summary Judgment [Doc. 9]. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B)(ii); Chappell v. Rich, 340 F.3d 1 Plaintiff filed an Affidavit [Doc. 8] and a Motion for Summary Judgment [Doc. 9] after the magistrate judge issued the R&R. Having reviewed both filings, and recognizing the Court’s obligation to construe them liberally, the Court finds that neither document contains an objection to the R&R. Erickson v. Pardus, 551 U.S. 89, 94 (2007).
