This matter is before the court for review of plaintiffs’ pro se complaint (DE 1-1) pursuant to

(e).1 United States Magistrate Judge Kimberly A. Swank entered order granting plaintiffs’ motion to proceed in forma pauperis and memorandum and recommendation (“M&R”), pursuant to

(b)(1) and Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 72(b), wherein it is recommended that plaintiffs’ complaint be dismissed. Plaintiffs did not file objections to the M&R, and the time within which to make any objection has expired. In this posture, the issues raised are ripe for ruling. Upon a careful review of the M&R, the court may “accept, reject, or modify, in whole or in part, the findings or recommendations made by the magistrate judge.”

(b)(1). Because no objections have been filed, the court reviews the magistrate judge’s findings and

law claims be dismissed upon declining to exercise supplemental jurisdiction under
