This matter comes before the court on Plaintiff's Motion for Leave to Proceed In Forma Pauperis [DE 2]. Pursuant to

(b)(1) and Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 72(b), United States Magistrate Judge Kimberly A. Swank issued a memorandum and recommendation (“M&R”), recommending that this court dismiss Plaintiff's complaint for the court’s lack of subject-matter jurisdiction DE 6. Judge Swank instructed the Plaintiff to file any written objections to the recommendation within seventeen days after service of the M&R, or October 20, 2025.

No objections have been filed. The matter is now ripe for consideration by this court. A magistrate judge’s recommendation carries no presumptive weight. The court “may accept, reject, or modify, in whole or in part, the . .. recommendation[ ] . . . receive further evidence or recommit the matter to the magistrate judge with instructions.”

For the reasons stated therein, Plaintiff's complaint is DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE for the court’s lack of subject-matter jurisdiction. The Clerk of Court is directed to close this case.

SO ORDERED this 6 day of November, 2025.
