UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 
DISTRICT OF MINNESOTA  
 
 
Samuel Cox, 
 
   Plaintiff, 
 
v. 
 
Commissioner Department of Human 
Services, 
 
   Defendant. 
 
 
Case No. 26-CV-01983 (JMB/DTS) 
 
 
ORDER  
 
This matter is before the Court on the Report and Recommendation (R&R) of 
United States Magistrate David T. Schultz dated April 3, 2026.  (Doc. No. 5.)  The R&R 
recommends that this action be dismissed without prejudice under 28 U.S.C. 
§ 1915(e)(2)(B) and, consequently, that the pending motion to proceed in forma pauperis 
(Doc. No. 2) be dismissed as moot.  (See id.)  Neither party has objected to the R&R, and 
the time to do so has now passed.  See D. Minn. L.R. 72.2(b)(1). 
In the absence of timely objections, the Court reviews the R&R for clear error.  See 
Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b); Grinder v. Gammon, 73 F.3d 793, 795 (8th Cir. 1996) (per curiam).  
Finding no clear error, and based upon all the files, records, and proceedings in the above-
captioned matter, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT: 
1. The R&R (Doc. No. 5) is ADOPTED.  
 
2. This action will be DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE pursuant to 28 
U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B). 
 
3. The application to proceed in forma pauperis (Doc. No. 2) is DENIED as 
moot.
