UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

MIDDLE DISTRICT OF PENNSYLVANIA

SHAWN LUKE RANDOLPH,

Plaintiff, CIVIL ACTION NO. 3:26-cv-00215

v. (SAPORITO, J.)

THE DISCIPLINARY BOARD OF

THE SUPREME COURT OF

PENNSYLVANIA, et al.,

Defendants.

ORDER

Now before the court is a report and recommendation of Chief

United States Magistrate Judge Daryl F. Bloom, in which he recommends

that the plaintiff’s pro se complaint for declaratory and injunctive relief

be dismissed, but with leave to file an amended complaint. Doc. 8.

Judge Bloom recommends that the plaintiff’s federal civil rights

complaint be dismissed for failure to state a claim upon which relief can

be granted, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B)(ii). He further

recommends, however, that the plaintiff be granted an opportunity to

cure any defects by filing an amended complaint following dismissal of

his original complaint.

No objections have been filed to the report and recommendation,

resulting in forfeiture of de novo review by this court. ,

488 F.3d 187, 194 (3d Cir. 2007); , 812 F.2d 874, 878–

79 (3d Cir. 1987).

Following an independent review of the report and the record, and

having afforded “reasoned consideration” to the uncontested portions of

the report, , 866 F.3d 93, 99 (3d Cir. 2017),

we are satisfied “that there is no clear error on the face of the record,”

Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b) advisory committee note to 1983 amendment. We find

Judge Bloom’s analysis to be well-reasoned and fully supported by the

record and applicable law. Accordingly, the court will adopt the report

and recommendation in its entirety as the decision of the court.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT:

1. The report and recommendation of Judge Bloom (Doc. 8) is

ADOPTED;

2. For the reasons articulated in Judge Bloom’s report and

recommendation, the plaintiff’s pro se complaint (Doc. 1) is DISMISSED

for failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted, pursuant to

28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B)(ii);

3. The plaintiff is granted leave to file an amended complaint

within twenty-one (21) days after entry of this order; and

4. In the absence of a timely filed amended complaint, the clerk

shall mark this case as CLOSED.
