ORDER OVERRULING OBJECTION TO AND ADOPTING RECOMMENDATION OF UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE

ROBERT E. BLACKBURN, District Judge.

The matters before me are (1) the Recommendation of United States Magistrate Judge [#81],1 filed January 24, 2014; and (2) Plaintiff's Objection [to] Recommendation To Dismiss Claims Against Defendant City and County of San Francisco [#90], filed February 7, 2014. I overrule the objections, adopt the recommendation, and grant the apposite motion to dismiss for lack of personal jurisdiction.

Plaintiff is proceeding pro se. Thus, I have construed his pleadings more liberally and held them to a less stringent standard than formal pleadings drafted by lawyers. See Erickson v. Pardus, 551 U.S. 89, 94, 127 S.Ct. 2197, 2200, 167 L.Ed.2d 1081 (2007); Andrews v. Heaton, 483 F.3d 1070, 1076 (10th Cir. 2007); Hall v. Bellmon, 935 F.2d 1106, 1110 (10th Cir. 1991) (citing Haines v. Kerner, 404 U.S. 519, 520-21, 92 S.Ct. 594, 595-96, 30 L.Ed.2d 652 (1972)).

As required by 28 U.S.C. § 636(b), I have reviewed de novo all portions of the recommendation to which objections have been filed. I have considered carefully the recommendation, objections, and applicable caselaw.

The recommendation is detailed and well-reasoned. Contrastingly, plaintiff's objections are imponderous and without merit. Plaintiff devotes the entirety of his objection to attempting to establish that defendant, Sue Kaplan, although "facially" employed by the Superior Court of California (see Objection at 7), is actually employed by the City and County of San Francisco. Neither this argument nor the evidence purporting to support it were presented in connection with the underlying motion to dismiss. More relevantly, however, plaintiff has failed utterly to suggest how the allegations of his complaint adequately plead how the City, either on its own or through Ms. Kaplan (assuming arguendo that she is employed by the City), subject it to personal jurisdiction in Colorado.2 I concur with the magistrate judge's conclusion that nothing in the complaint plausibly alleges a valid basis for this court to assume either general or specific personal jurisdiction over the City in this forum.

Thus I find and conclude that the arguments advanced, authorities cited, and findings of fact, conclusions of law, and recommendation proposed by the magistrate judge should be approved and adopted.

THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED as follows:

1. That the Recommendation of United States Magistrate Judge [#81], filed January 24, 2014, is APPROVED AND ADOPTED as an order of this court;

2. That the objections stated in Plaintiff's Objection [to] Recommendation To Dismiss Claims Against Defendant City and County of San Francisco [#90], filed February 7, 2014, are OVERRULED;

3. That Defendant City and County of San Francisco's Motion To Dismiss Pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(6) [#16], filed November 26, 2013, is GRANTED IN PART and DENIED IN PART as follows;

4. That plaintiff's claims against the City and County of San Francisco are DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE for lack of personal jurisdiction in this forum;

5. That judgment without prejudice SHALL ENTER on behalf of defendant, City and County of San Francisco, against plaintiff, Jon A. Goodwin, as to all claims for relief and causes of action asserted against this defendant; and

6. That defendant, City and County of San Francisco, is DROPPED as a named party to this action, and the case caption AMENDED accordingly.
