OPINION

The plaintiff filed this lawsuit against the

defendant, seeking money for damages allegedly resulting

from a visit to a Veterans’ Affairs clinic. This lawsuit

is now before the court on the recommendation of the

United States Magistrate Judge that the defendant’s motion

to set aside default judgment should be granted and the

state-court default judgment be set aside and that the

defendant’s motion to dismiss should be granted and this

case should be dismissed for lack of subject-matter

jurisdiction. There are no objections to the

recommendation. After an independent and de novo review

Case 1:12-cv-00075-MHT-WC Document 8 Filed 05/07/12 Page 1 of 2
of the record, the court concludes that the magistrate

judge’s recommendation should be adopted.

An appropriate judgment will be entered.

DONE, this the 7th day of May, 2012.
