GLENN T. SUDDABY, United States District Judge DECISION and ORDER Currently before the Court, in this pro se civil rights action filed by Mounir Howard (“Plaintiff”) against the Oneida County District Attorney’s Office and District Attorneys Amanda Torcione, Todd Carville, Scott D. McNamara and Grant Garramone (“Defendants”), is United States Magistrate Judge Miroslav Lovric’s Report-Recommendation recommending that Plaintiff’s Complaint be sua sponte dismissed with leave to amend. (Dkt. No. 4.) Plaintiff has not filed an objection to the Report-Recommendation, and the deadline by which to do so has expired. (See generally Docket Sheet.) After carefully reviewing the relevant papers herein, including Magistrate Judge Lovric’s thorough Report-Recommendation, the Court can find no clear error in the Report- Recommendation.1 Magistrate Judge Lovric employed the proper standards, accurately recited the facts, and reasonably applied the law to those facts. (Dkt. No. 4.) As a result, the Report-
Recommendation is accepted and adopted in its entirety for the reasons set forth therein. ACCORDINGLY, it is ORDERED that Magistrate Judge Lovric’s Report-Recommendation (Dkt. No. 4) is ACCEPTED and ADOPTED in its entirety; and it is further ORDERED that Plaintiff’s Complaint (Dkt. No. 1) shall be DISMISSED without prejudice, and without further Order of this Court, UNLESS, within THIRTY (3O) DAYS of
the date of this Decision and Order, Plaintiff filed an AMENDED COMPLAINT that cures the pleading defects identified in the Report-Recommendation; and it is further ORDERED that, should Plaintiff wish to file an Amended Complaint in this action, any such Amended Complaint must be a complete pleading that supercedes and replaces his original Complaint in all regards, and that complies with the pleading standards set forth in Fed. R. Civ. P. 8 and 10 and Local Rule 10.1 of the District’s Local Rules of Practice; and it is further ORDERED that, should Plaintiff file an Amended Complaint within the above-
1 When no objection is made to a report-recommendation, the Court subjects that report-recommendation to only a clear-error review. Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b), Advisory Committee Notes: 1983 Addition. When performing such a clear-error review, “the court need only satisfy itself that there is no clear error on the face of the record in order t accept the recommendation.” Id.; see also Batista v. Walker, 94-CV-2826,
1995 WL 453299, at *1 (S.D.N.Y. July 31, 1995) (Sotomayor, J.) (“I am permitted to adopt those sections of [a magistrate judge’s] report to which no specific objection is made, so long as those sections are not facially erroneous.”) (internal quotation marks omitted). 2 mentioned thirty (30) day time period, that Amended Complaint shall be referred to Magistrate Judge Lovric for further review pursuant to
