ORDER

Before the court is the Recommendation of the Magistrate Judge (Doc. # 10), to which Plaintiff Andrea Eggleston Mayo has filed objections (Doc. # 11). The court has conducted an independent and de novo review of those portions of the Recommendation to which objection is made. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b).

In her objection, Ms. Mayo argues the merits of her case, claiming that she is entitled to relief. In so doing, she misses the thrust of the Recommendation: that her case is due to be dismissed for lack of subject-matter jurisdiction. Rather, because the state-court action had already been dismissed prior to the attempted removal, the Magistrate Judge properly recommended dismissal without prejudice.

Accordingly, it is ORDERED as follows:

1. Plaintiff Andrea Eggleston Mayo's objection (Doc. # 11) is OVERRULED;

2. The Recommendation of the Magistrate Judge (Doc. # 10) is ADOPTED; and

3. This case is DISMISSED without prejudice for lack of subject-matter jurisdiction.

A final judgment will be entered separately.
