ORDER ADOPTING FINDINGS AND 
RECOMMENDATIONS  
(Docs. 19, 36) 
 
 
 Plaintiff Hossain Ghahraloud (“Plaintiff”), proceeding pro se, filed this action on April 23, 
2025.  Doc. 1.  On November 26, 2025, defendants filed their motion to dismiss.  Doc. 19.  On 
September 11, 2026, the assigned magistrate judge issued findings and recommendations that 
defendants’ motion to dismiss be granted with leave to file a supplemental complaint.  Doc. 36.  
The assigned magistrate judge recommended that plaintiff be granted leave to file, within twenty-
one (21) days of this order, a supplemental complaint or a notice of decision not to file a 
supplemental complaint.  Id.  The findings and recommendations were served on Plaintiff and 
contained notice that any objections thereto were to be filed within fourteen (14) days after 
service.  Id.  Neither party has filed any objections and the time to do so has since passed.  
 In accordance with 28 U.S.C. § 636 (b)(1), this Court has conducted a de novo review of 
the case.  Having carefully reviewed the file, the Court finds that the findings and 
Case 1:25-cv-00466-KES-FJS     Document 37     Filed 09/30/26     Page 1 of 2
