Case No. 1:26-cv-145
Judge Travis R. McDonough
Magistrate Judge Michael J. Dumitru
ORDER
On May 29, 2026, Plaintiff filed this pro se action (Doc. 2) and an application for leave to
proceed in forma pauperis (Doc. 1). On September 25, 2026, United States Magistrate Judge
Michael J. Dumitru issued a report and recommendation (“R&R”), recommending the Court
dismiss the complaint and deny the application to proceed in forma pauperis as moot. (Doc. 11.)
The R&R reasoned that Plaintiff has failed to state a proper claim under the Americans with
Disabilities Act pursuant to applicable § 1915 standards. (Id.) The R&R therefore
recommended the Court decline to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over Plaintiff’s related
state law claims. Plaintiff did not object to the report and recommendation.
After reviewing the record and the applicable law, the Court agrees with Magistrate
Judge Dumitru’s well-reasoned conclusions. Accordingly, the Court ACCEPTS and ADOPTS
the report and recommendation (Doc. 11) pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1), and ORDERS that
the action be DISMISSED.
