magistrate judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B) and Local Rule 302.

On August 30, 2024, the Court screened Plaintiff’s complaint, found no cognizable claim, 

and directed Plaintiff to file an amended complaint, stand on his complaint, or file a notice of 

voluntary dismissal. Doc. 7. Plaintiff timely filed a first amended complaint (“FAC”). Doc. 8. 

On October 23, 2024, the magistrate judge screened the FAC and issued findings and 

recommendations recommending dismissal for failure to state a cognizable claim for relief. 

Doc. 11. The findings and recommendations were served on Plaintiff and contained notice that 

objections were to be filed within fourteen (14) days of service. Id. at 8–9. Plaintiff has not filed 

any objections and the time to do so has passed. See docket. 

In accordance with 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1), this Court has conducted a de novo review of
