 ORDER

Before the Court for consideration is Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss Plaintiff’s

Complaint. 

This matter was referred to the United States Magistrate Judge for all pretrial

proceedings and report and recommendation in accordance with the provisions of 28 U.S.C.

§ 636(b)(1) and LRCiv 72.1 and LRCiv 72.2, Rules of Practice of the United States District

Court for the District of Arizona.

Magistrate Judge Bernardo P. Velasco issued his Report and Recommendation, filed

June 4, 2008, recommending that the District Court, after its independent review of the

record, enter an order granting Defendants’ motion to dismiss this action for lack of subject

matter jurisdiction over any of Plaintiff’s stated claims. 

The Report and Recommendation provides a detailed procedural background of this

action and the actions previously filed by Plaintiff.

Although Plaintiff failed to file a response to Defendants’ motion to dismiss, the

Magistrate Judge provided a thorough analysis of the issues presented.

The parties were advised of the provision to file written objections, and responses

thereto, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b) and Fed.R.Civ.P. 72(b).

No objections were filed.

The Court, having made an independent review of the record herein, finds that this

Court lacks subject matter jurisdiction and that the Report and Recommendation of

Magistrate Judge Velasco shall be adopted as the findings of fact and conclusions of law of

this Court.

Based on the foregoing, 

IT IS ORDERED that the Report and Recommendation [Doc. #27] is hereby

ACCEPTED and ADOPTED as the findings of fact and conclusions of law by this Court;

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss Plaintiff’s

Complaint [Doc. #26] is GRANTED; 

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that judgment shall be entered accordingly.

DATED this 14th day of July, 2008.
