JOSELYN C. LEE,

Plaintiff,

v.

SECRETARY OF STATE OF 

CALIFORNIA,

Defendant.

Case No. 20-cv-01203-WHO 

ORDER ADOPTING MAGISTRATE 

JUDGE'S REPORT AND 

RECOMMENDATION AND 

DISMISSING CASE WITHOUT 

PREJUDICE

Re: Dkt. No. 10

On March 24, 2020, Magistrate Judge Laurel Beeler issued a Report and Recommendation, 

recommending that the complaint be dismissed. Dkt. No. 10. On the same day, Magistrate Judge 

Beeler’s Report and Recommendation was served by mail on plaintiff. Objections were due on or 

before April 7, 2020. As of today’s date, no objection or other response have been filed by either 

party.

On February 24, 2020, after granting plaintiff’s application to proceed in forma pauperis, 

Magistrate Judge Beeler screened the complaint for minimum legal viability pursuant to 28 U.S.C.

§ 1915(e)(2)(B) and dismissed for failure to state a claim. Magistrate Judge Beeler allowed

plaintiff leave to amend by March 16, 2020 and cautioned that failure to file an amended 

complaint will lead dismissal of the case. Dkt. No. 6. The March 16 deadline has passed and 

plaintiff has not filed an amended complaint. Because plaintiff declined magistrate-judge 

jurisdiction on February 21, 2020, this case was reassigned to me.

Having reviewed the records in this case, I agree with Magistrate Judge Beeler’s Report 

and Recommendation and adopt it. This case is DISMISSED without prejudice.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
