ORDER AFFIRMING RECOMMENDED DECISION OF THE MAGISTRATE JUDGE AND IMPOSING COK FILING WARNING

On June 6, 2025, United States Magistrate Judge John C. Nivison filed with the Court, with a copy to Plaintiff, his Recommended Decision on Plaintiff’s alleged claims of constitutional violations. The time within which to file objections expired on June 20, 2025, and no objection was filed. The Magistrate Judge notified Plaintiff that failure to object would waive her right to de novo review and appeal. I have reviewed and considered the Recommended Decision, together with the entire record; I have made a de novo determination of all matters adjudicated by the Recommended Decision; and I concur with the recommendation of Magistrate Judge Nivison for the reasons set forth in the Recommended Decision. Additionally, the Court expressly warns Ms. Crosson that “filing restrictions may be in the offing.” Cok v. Family Court of Rhode Island, 985 F.2d at 35. This Court has dismissed many complaints asserted by Plaintiff based on Plaintiff’s lack of prosecution. See Recommended Decision (ECF No. 11) at 5-6. Should this pattern continue, Plaintiff

will face filing restrictions. It is therefore ORDERED that the Recommended Decision of the Magistrate Judge is hereby AFFIRMED (ECF No. 11) and a Cok warning is issued to the Plaintiff. The case is dismissed. SO ORDERED.

Dated this 17th day of July, 2025.

/s/ Lance E. Walker CHIEF U.S. DISTRICT JUDGE
