IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF OKLAHOMA
RANDOLPH A. JACKSON, JR, ) ) Plaintiff, ) ) v. ) Case No. CIV-19-197-D ) CAVALIER RENTAL CAR CO. et al., ) ) Defendants. )
O R D E R Plaintiff Randolph Jackson, an Arizona state prisoner appearing pro se, initiated this action relying on 42 U.S.C §§ 1983, 1985(3) against twelve Defendants, four doing business or residing in Oklahoma (“Oklahoma Defendants”) and eight located or residing in Arizona (“Arizona Defendants”). R&R [Doc. No. 10] at 1–2. The matter was referred to United States Magistrate Judge Suzanne Mitchell for initial proceedings, in accordance with
28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B),(C). On May 1, 2019, the magistrate judge issued a Report and Recommendation (“Report”) wherein she recommended dismissal without prejudice of Plaintiff’s claims against the Oklahoma Defendants for lack of subject matter jurisdiction, and dismissal of the claims against the Arizona Defendants for lack of personal jurisdiction. Report at 13. The R&R also recommends denying Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss [Doc. No. 8] as moot. Plaintiff’s objections were due on May 22, 2019, which he timely filed on May 20, 2019 [Doc. No. 12]. Nevertheless, Plaintiff subsequently filed a Motion for Leave to Amend [Doc. No. 13] on May 28, 2019, requesting the Court grant him leave to amend his complaint. In his Objection, Plaintiff presents no persuasive argument or authority that would
cause this Court to reject the magistrate judge’s conclusions. To the extent Plaintiff attempts to introduce new arguments in his objection, the Court notes that “[i]ssues raised for the first time in objections to the magistrate judge’s recommendation are deemed waived.” Marshall v. Chater,
75 F.3d 1421, 1426(10th Cir. 1996). The Court has reviewed the Report, as well as the case record, and fully concurs in
the Report. Therefore, the Court, having conducted a de novo review,1 finds that Plaintiff’s objections should be overruled, and hererby ADOPTS the Report and Recommendation [Doc. No. 10] in its entirety. The Court further notes that Plaintiff’s request for leave to amend was filed after his time to file objections had elapsed, and his objections nowhere request leave to amend. As
the recommendation is for dismissal without prejudice, Plaintiff is afforded an opportunity to cure any perceived deficiencies in the complaint by properly refiling his case. IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss [Doc. No. 8] is DENIED AS MOOT. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Plaintiff’s Motion for Leave to Amend [Doc.
No. 13] is DENIED AS MOOT.
1 Pursuant to. Rule 72, where the district court refers dispositive matters to a magistrate judge for a report and recommendation, the district court “must determine de novo any part of the magistrate judge's disposition that has been properly objected to.” FED. R. CIV. P. 72(b)(3); Birch v. Polaris Indus., Inc.,
812 F.3d 1238, 1246(10th Cir. 2015). IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Plaintiffs claims against Defendants are DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE. A_ separate judgment will be entered accordingly. IT IS SO ORDERED this 27" day of February, 2019.
