Date Filed Document Text
October 12, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 9 RECOMMENDED RULING: For the reasons set forth in the attached Recommended Ruling, the plaintiff's Motion to Proceed In Forma Pauperis (Doc. No. #2 ) is GRANTED. The Court further recommends that the entire Complaint be DISMISSED without prejudice, insofar as the Complaint fails to invoke this Court's jurisdiction, and the plaintiff, as a pro se litigant, is not authorized to assert claims on behalf of her minor grandson, T.W. If the plaintiff elects to file an Amended Complaint, that pleading must comply with the Federal and Local Rules of Civil Procedure. It must be captioned "Amended Complaint," and will completely supersede (that is, replace) the current Complaint. Before filing any Amended Complaint, the plaintiff must carefully review this Recommended Ruling and ensure that any Amended Complaint addresses the deficiencies identified herein. The Court will review the Amended Complaint pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 1915(e)(2)(B). If the Amended Complaint fails to state a claim for which relief may be granted as to any claim already reviewed by the Court, such claims may be dismissed with prejudice upon review under 28 U.S.C. 1915(e)(2)(B). To ensure that the plaintiff is afforded sufficient time to seek the assistance of counsel in bringing this action and, if necessary, establish the requisite standing to do so consistent with Rule 17(c), any re-filed Amended Complaint shall be filed on or before December 12, 2023. This is a recommended ruling. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b)(1). Any objections to this recommended ruling must be filed with the Clerk of the Court within fourteen (14) days of being served with this order. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b)(2). Any party receiving notice of an order or recommended ruling from the Clerk by mail shall have five (5) additional days to file any objection. See D. Conn. L. Civ. R. 72.2(a). Failure to timely object will preclude appellate review. See 28 U.S.C. 636(b)(1); Fed. R. Civ. P. 72 6(a), 6(e); D. Conn. L. Civ. R. 72.2; Small v. Secretary of H.H.S., 892 F.2d 15 (2d Cir. 1989) (per curiam); FDIC v. Hillcrest Assocs., 66 F.3d 566, 569 (2d Cir. 1995). Objections due by 10/26/2023. Signed by Judge Robert M.
