Amafa v. State of Nevada

Opinion

Blake Amafa, Case No.: 2:23-cv-00574-JAD-EJY

Plaintiff Order Adopting Report & v. Recommendation and Dismissing Action

State of Nevada, [ECF No. 5, 6]

Defendant

On April 17, 2023, I ordered Plaintiff Blake Amafa to file a complete in forma pauperis (IFP) application together with an amended complaint by May 22, 2023, alleging cognizable claims satisfying the pleading requirements of Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 8.1 On May 23, 2023, Amafa filed his second IFP application but didn’t attach an amended complaint.2 Magistrate Judge Youchah recommends that this case be dismissed because Amafa failed to follow court orders and file an amended complaint.3 She also recommends that Amafa’s IFP application be denied as moot.4 The deadline for Amafa to object to that recommendation was June 8, 2023, and he neither filed objections nor moved to extend the deadline to do so. “[N]o review is required of a magistrate judge’s report and recommendation unless objections are filed.”5 Having reviewed the R&R, I find good cause to adopt it, and I do. 1 ECF No. 4. 2 ECF No. 5. 3 ECF No. 6. 4 Id. at 2. 5 Schmidt v. Johnstone, 263 F. Supp. 2d 1219, 1226 (D. Ariz. 2003); see also Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 150 (1985); United States v. Reyna-Tapia, 328 F.3d 1114, 1121 (9th Cir. 2003). ] Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that the magistrate judge’s report and recommendation [ECF No. 6] is ADOPTED in its entirety. Amafa’s application to proceed in forma pauperis [ECF No. 5] is DENIED as moot. This action is DISMISSED without prejudice, and the Clerk of the Court is directed to CLOSE THIS CASE. 5
