Case No. 16-cv-04058-SI 

ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND 

RECOMMENDATION RE: 

APPLICATION TO PROCEED IN 

FORMA PAUPERIS

Re: Dkt. Nos. 3, 10

On August 3, 2016, Magistrate Judge Laporte granted pro se plaintiff Michael Kitterman’s 

application to proceed in forma pauperis. Dkt. No. 5. On August 24, 2016, prior to ordering 

service of process, Judge Laporte issued a report and recommendation (the “Report”) in this case. 

Dkt. No. 10. The Report recommends that the Court dismiss plaintiff’s complaint in its entirety, 

with leave to amend only as to plaintiff’s claims under 42 U.S.C. §§ 1983 and 1985. The Report 

further recommends that the Court dismiss plaintiff’s claims under 18 U.S.C. § 242 and 5 U.S.C. 

§ 552(b)(6) with prejudice.

Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1), the parties had fourteen days from service of the Report 

to file written objections. See also Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b). No party filed objections to the Report 

by the deadline.

The Court has reviewed the Report and the docket in this case. The Court agrees with 

Judge Laporte’s analysis, and accordingly, the Court ADOPTS the Report and Recommendation.

Plaintiff’s claims under 18 U.S.C. § 1983 and 18 U.S.C. § 1985 are hereby DISMISSED, with
