ORDER RE: RECOMMENDATION OF UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE

ROBERT E. BLACKBURN, District Judge.

The matters before me are (1) the Recommendation of United States Magistrate Judge [#295],1 filed May 19, 2014; and (2) Plaintiff's Objection to Magistrate Judge Hegarty's Recommendation [#295] To Grant the Individual Redwood City Defendant's [sic] Motion To Dismiss [#82] [#312], filed June 2, 2014. I overrule the objection, adopt the recommendation, and grant the apposite motion to dismiss for lack of personal jurisdiction over the movants in this forum.

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. Thus, I have considered carefully the recommendation, objections, and applicable caselaw.

The recommendation is detailed and well-reasoned. Contrastingly, plaintiff's objection is imponderous and without merit. RICO permits nationwide service of process (and thus personal jurisdiction over non-resident defendants) only when (1) the action is brought in a district court where personal jurisdiction can be established over at least one defendant; and (2) the ends of justice so require. See Cory v. Aztec Steel Building, Inc., 468 F.3d 1226, 1231 (10th Cir. 2006), cert. denied, 127 S.Ct. 2134 (2007). Assuming arguendo that plaintiff could establish personal jurisdiction as to one defendant — a proposition that he has not even addressed, much less proved — nothing in plaintiff's objection demonstrates that the ends of justice require the assertion of nationwide personal jurisdiction in this case.2 "The "ends of justice' is a flexible concept uniquely tailored to the facts of each case." Id. at 1232. Plaintiff's wholly unsubstantiated assertion that his limited economic resources is insufficient in the circumstances of this case to justify resort to the national process available under RICO.

I thus 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 [#295], filed May 19, 2014, is APPROVED AND ADOPTED as an order of this court;

2. That the objections stated in Plaintiff's Objection to Magistrate Judge Hegarty's Recommendation [#295] To Grant the Individual Redwood City Defendant's [sic] Motion To Dismiss [#82] [#312], filed June 2, 2014, are OVERRULED;

3. That Redwood City Police Sergeant Valancy Cook, Redwood City Police Lieutenant Sean Hart, and Redwood City Police Chief Meynard "JR" Gamez' [sic] Motion To Dismiss [#82], is GRANTED IN PART and DENIED AS MOOT IN PART as follows:

That at the time judgment enters, judgment without prejudice SHALL ENTER on behalf of defendants, Valancy Cook (misnamed in the caption as "Val Cook"); Sean Hart; and Meynard "JR" Gamez (misnamed in the caption as "Maynard JR Gamez), against plaintiff, Jon A. Goodwin, on all claims for relief and causes of action asserted against this defendant herein; and

6. That defendants, Valancy Cook (misnamed in the caption as "Val Cook"); Sean Hart; and Meynard "JR" Gamez (misnamed in the caption as "Maynard JR Gamez), are DROPPED as a named parties to this action, and the case caption AMENDED accordingly.
