BLANCHE L. DIXON and

ROY J. DIXON, JR.,

 

Plaintiffs, 

v. 

JOSEPH ABRUZZO et al, 

Defendants.

____________________________/ 

ORDER ACCEPTING MAGISTRATE JUDGE’S

REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION

THIS CAUSE comes before the Court upon Defendants’ Joint Motion to Dismiss the 

Amended Complaint with Prejudice (the “Motion”), filed on December 22, 2022 [ECF No. 22]. 

On June 21, 2023, following referral [ECF Nos. 36, 37], Magistrate Judge Matthewman issued a 

Report (“Report”) recommending that the Motion be granted in part and denied in part [ECF No. 

54]. Specifically, Judge Matthewman recommends Counts I, II, V, and the unnumbered 

declaratory judgment action in Plaintiffs’ Amended Complaint be dismissed without leave to 

amend pursuant to the Rooker-Feldman doctrine, and that Counts III and IV of Plaintiffs’ 

Amended Complaint be dismissed with prejudice pursuant to judicial and quasi-judicial immunity 

[ECF No. 54 p. 33]. The ultimate recommendation in the Report is to dismiss all counts in the 

Amended Complaint [ECF No. 54]. Judge Matthewman also recommends that the Court impose 

pre-filing sanctions against Plaintiffs due to Plaintiffs’ continuous filing of frivolous complaints 

in an effort to undo a state foreclosure judgment [ECF No. 54 pp. 33–34]. No party filed objections 

to the Report, and the time within which to do so has expired. 

Upon review, the Court finds the Report to be well-reasoned and correct.
