Defendants.

Mamady Kalifa Keita, Apple Valley, Minnesota, self-represented.

Edwin William Stockmeyer, III and Jennifer Cho Moreau, Minnesota Attorney General’s Office, St. Paul, Minnesota, for Defendants.

This matter is before the Court on the Report and Recommendation (R&R) of United States Magistrate Elizabeth Cowan Wright dated April 10, 2026. (Doc. No. 26.) The R&R recommends that Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss Plaintiff’s Amended Complaint be granted. (See id.) Neither party has objected to the R&R, and the time to do so has now passed. See D. Minn. L.R. 72.2(b)(1). In the absence of timely objections, the Court reviews the R&R for clear error. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b); Grinder v. Gammon, 73 F.3d 793, 795 (8th Cir. 1996) (per curiam). Finding no clear error, and based upon all the files, records, and proceedings in the above- captioned matter, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT: 1. The R&R (Doc. No. 26) is ADOPTED.

2. Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss Plaintiff’s Amended Complaint (Doc. No. 17) is GRANTED.

3. Plaintiff’s Amended Complaint is DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE.

LET JUDGMENT BE ENTERED ACCORDINGLY.
