Ahmed v. Dannhauser
Trial Court Opinion
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT EASTERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK ------------------------------------x
BUSHRA AHMED,
Plaintiff, MEMORANDUM & ORDER 23-CV-297(EK)(LB)
-against-
JESS DANNHAUSER and ANDREA AGUIRRE,
Defendants.
------------------------------------x ERIC KOMITEE, United States District Judge: The Court has received Magistrate Judge Bloom’s sua sponte Report and Recommendation (“R&R”) dated October 5, 2023. ECF No. 16. Judge Bloom recommends that I dismiss this action without prejudice pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 4(m) because Plaintiff Bushra Ahmed has not filed proof of service of process on the defendants. Judge Bloom also recommends that I dismiss Ahmed’s petition for a writ of habeas corpus for lack of subject-matter jurisdiction.1 Neither party has filed objections and the time to do so has expired. Accordingly, the Court reviews Judge Bloom’s recommendation for clear error on the face of the record. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b) advisory committee’s note to 1983 addition; accord State
1 Ahmed filed her petition for habeas relief directly in the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. ECF No. 12. The Second Circuit then transferred the petition to this Court. Id. Farm Mut. Auto. Ins. Co. v. Grafman,
968 F. Supp. 2d 480, 481(E.D.N.Y. 2013). Having reviewed the record, I find no clear error and therefore adopt the R&R in its entirety. Thus, the action is dismissed without prejudice. Ahmed’s petition for a writ of
habeas corpus is likewise dismissed. The Court declines to issue a certificate of appealability, as plaintiff has not made “a substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right.” See
28 U.S.C. § 2553(c)(2). The Court further certifies, pursuant to
28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3), that any in forma pauperis appeal from this order would not be taken in good faith. Coppedge v. United States,
369 U.S. 438, 444–45 (1962). The Clerk of Court is respectfully directed to enter judgment and close the case. SO ORDERED.
