UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 
EASTERN DISTRICT OF LOUISIANA 
 
 
SHANE LEE HILL CIVIL ACTION 
 
VERSUS NO: 25-888 
 
GERALD A. TURLICH, ET AL. SECTION “H” 
 
 
ORDER 
The Court, having considered the complaint, the record, the applicable 
law, the Partial Report and Recommendation (“R&R”) of the United States 
Magistrate Judge (Doc. 18) and Plaintiff’s objections to the R&R (Doc. 19) 
hereby approves the R&R of the United States Magistrate Judge and adopts it 
as this Court’s opinion in this matter except to the extent modified by this 
Order. 
The R&R recommends dismissal with prejudice of Plaintiff’s federal 
claims against Defendant Correctional Food Service (“CFS”) for failure to state 
a claim.1 In response, Plaintiff confirms that he “did not allege any federal civil 
rights claims against Correctional Food Service” and his “only claim against 
‘CFS’ is merely a matter of state law.”2 
Accordingly, 
IT IS ORDERED that to the extent Plaintiff’s Complaint can be 
construed as asserting federal civil rights claims against Defendant 
 
1 The R&R further recommends that the Court decline to exercise supplemental subject 
matter jurisdiction over Plaintiff’s state law claims against CFS and dismiss said claims 
without prejudice. As to his state law claims, “Plaintiff makes no objection to the Court’s 
refusal to exercise supplemental jurisdiction.” Doc. 19 at 2. Accordingly, the Court adopts 
the Magistrate Judge’s recommendation regarding Plaintiff’s state law claims against CFS 
without modification. 
2 Doc. 19 at 1. 

Correctional Food Service, those claims are DISMISSED WITH 
PREJUDICE. 
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Court declines to exercise 
supplemental jurisdiction over any state law claims against Defendant 
Correctional Food Service under 28 U.S.C. § 1367(c) and that such claims are 
DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE. 
 
 New Orleans, Louisiana this 19th day of May, 2026.
