Summary

The United States District Court for the Northern District of New York adopted a magistrate judge’s Report-Recommendation and dismissed Donna M. Bulris’s pro se civil rights complaint without prejudice and without leave to amend. The court denied her requests for counsel and other relief and cautioned that continued meritless litigation could result in restrictions on future pro se filings.

Holdings

2. The plaintiff's complaint was dismissed without prejudice and without leave to amend for the reasons stated in the adopted Report-Recommendation, including lack of subject matter jurisdiction under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(h)(3) and/or failure to state a claim under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B)(iii).
3. The plaintiff's requests for appointment of counsel, arrest and sanctions against Nancy Bulris-Rowell, and other relief in the letter-motion were denied.
