ORDER AFFIRMING THE RECOMMENDED DECISION OF THE MAGISTRATE JUDGE

On April 8, 2025, the United States Magistrate Judge filed with the Court, with copies to the parties, her Recommended Dismissal (ECF No. 3) after a preliminary review of the Plaintiff’s complaint (ECF No. 1) under 28 U.S.C. § 1915. The time within which to file objections has expired, and no objections have been filed. The Magistrate Judge notified the parties that failure to object would waive their right to de novo review and appeal. It is therefore ORDERED that the Recommended Dismissal of the Magistrate Judge is hereby ADOPTED and the Plaintiff’s complaint is DISMISSED. Further, given that the Plaintiff recently has filed three other groundless cases in this Court (Torre v. State of Maine, 2:25-cv-00118-NT, Torre v. Maine Department of Health and Human Services, 2:25-cv-00127-NT, Torre v. Lane, 2:25-cv-00128-NT), I hereby place the Plaintiff on NOTICE that filing restrictions “may be in the offing.” Cok v. Fam. Ct. of R.I., 985 F.2d 32, 35 (1st Cir. 1993). This represents the “cautionary order” of which Cok speaks. Id. Groundless and inappropriate filings will not be tolerated.

SO ORDERED. /s/ Nancy Torresen United States District Judge Dated this 2nd day of May, 2025.
