Plaintiff,

ORDER v.

CLASSIS OF GREATER PALISADES,

Defendant.

THIS MATTER having come before the court on an Order to Show Cause why the case should not be dismissed (DE 6), issued by Hon. Edward S. Kiel, U.S. Magistrate Judge, to which no response has been filed; and IT APPEARING that the Hon. Andre M. Espinosa, U.S. Magistrate Judge, to whom the matter was transferred, carefully analyzed the case and filed a Report and Recommendation (“R&R”) that the case be dismissed because Mr. Soto is not an attorney and so may not represent Ministerio Mundial Fuente De Bendicion, Inc., because Ministerio Mundial Fuente De Bendicion has not hired an attorney or prosecuted this action, and because it does not appear that this Court has subject matter jurisdiction over the alleged claims in any event (DE 7); and IT APPEARING that no objection to the R&R has been filed within 14 days or thereafter, see Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b); L. Civ. R. 72.1c(2); and THE COURT having reviewed the R&R de novo despite the lack of an objection and having concluded that Judge Espinosa’s conclusions are correct; IT IS this 25th day of June, 2021, ORDERED that the Report and Recommendation (DE 14) is ADOPTED and AFFIRMED pursuant to

and Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b)(3);1 and it is further ORDERED that the case is dismissed. The clerk shall close the file.
