1 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 2 DISTRICT OF NEVADA 3 Thomas Curtis, Case No.: 2:24-cv-02291-JAD-NJK

4 Plaintiff Order Adopting Report and 5 v. Recommendation and Dismissing Case

6 Red Rock Casino, et al., [ECF Nos. 7, 8]

7 Defendants

8 Pro se plaintiff Thomas Curtis filed this civil-rights complaint, claiming that he was 9 playing the Lobster Mania game at the Palace Station casino. He won, and to avoid having to 10 pay him out, the floor tech “worked hand in hand” with gaming companies IGT and Game King 11 Inc. to release a “nuclear substance,” causing him bodily harm and giving them a nuclear cover 12 under which they were able to change the images on the screen and deprive him of his “big 13 win.”1 He seeks $62 billion in damages.2 14 Because Curtis applies to proceed in forma pauperis, the magistrate judge screened his 15 complaint and recommends that it be dismissed as frivolous and delusional.3 The deadline for 16 the plaintiff to object to that recommendation was January 21, 2025, and he filed no objection 17 and did not ask to extend the deadline to do so. “District judges must review the magistrate 18 judge’s findings and recommendations de novo if objection is made, but not otherwise.”4 19 20
