March 8, 2024 Opinion or Order Filing 21 ORDER denying #19 Motion to Amend Complaint and #20 Appeal of the Magistrate Judge's Decision. On March 4, 2024, I entered an order (ECF No. 17) adopting the Report and Recommended Decision of the Magistrate Judge and dismissing the Plaintiff's Complaint. Judgment entered (ECF No. 18) and the case was terminated the same day. Because there is no open pending case, the Plaintiff's motions must be denied. See Weigang v. Univ. of Me., No. 1:21-cv-00271-NT, 2022 WL 538262, at *2 (D. Me. Feb. 23, 2022) ("[M]ultiple courts have held that Rule 15 (the rule allowing for amendments to pleadings) does not apply to closed cases."). Even if I were to consider the motion to amend, the Plaintiff's amended complaint does not provide a basis on which relief could be granted, and granting leave to amend would be futile. See Glassman v. Computervision Corp., 90 F.3d 617, 623 (1st Cir. 1996) (" 'Futility' means that the complaint, as amended, would fail to state a claim upon which relief could be granted."). Further, as to the Plaintiff's appeal of the Magistrate Judge's decision not to recuse, 28 U.S.C. 455 does not allow me, another judge, to disqualify him because the statute is clear that the disqualification determination must be made by the "judge[ ] or magistrate judge... himself." 28 U.S.C. 455 (emphasis added). Accordingly, the Plaintiff's motions are denied. By JUDGE NANCY TORRESEN. (RGK)
