Opinion
CASE NO. 1:11-cv-866-MEF
03-07-2012
C.H. KINSEY, Plaintiff, v. CENTURYTEL, Defendant.
ORDER
This case is before the Court on a Recommendation of the Magistrate Judge (Doc. # 7) to dismiss Plaintiff's Amended Complaint (Doc. # 6) prior to service of process, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915. Plaintiff has filed a timely Objection. (Doc. # 8.) The Court reviews de novo the portion of the Recommendation to which the Objection applies. 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1).
As it is with Plaintiff's Amended Complaint, Plaintiff's Objection contains the barest of conclusory allegations: "YOUR HONOR, . . . but fraud is fraud." (Objection 1.) Plaintiff's Amended Complaint fails to meet the pleading standards under Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 8 and 9. After a review of the Recommendation and the Objection, it is ORDERED that the Recommendation (Doc. # 7) is ADOPTED and the Objection (Doc. # 8) OVERRULED. An appropriate final judgment will be entered.
