Defendants-Appellees.
Appeals from the United States District Court for the
Northern District of Texas
(3:12-CV-526)
Before WIENER, ELROD, and GRAVES, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Plaintiff-Appellant Susan Flander, proceeding pro se and in forma
pauperis, sued Defendants-Appellees alleging civil rights violations under 42
U.S.C. §§ 1983, 1985, and 1986. The district court referred the matter to a
magistrate judge who reviewed and examined Plaintiff-Appellant’s complaint
and related filings in considerable detail and recommended that the complaint
be summarily dismissed pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2). The district court
*
Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not

R. 47.5.4.

No. 12-10414
reviewed the findings, conclusions, and recommendations of the magistrate
judge and the Plaintiff-Appellant’s objection thereto, then overruled that
objection, accepted the findings, conclusions, and recommendations of the
magistrate judge, denied a motion to compel by Plaintiff-Appellant, and ordered
that her complaint be summarily dismissed pursuant to § 1915(e)(2).
We have reviewed the report of the magistrate judge, the rulings of the
district court, the filings of the Plaintiff-Appellant, and the remainder of the
record. Although we understand and sympathize with the obvious frustration
of Plaintiff-Appellant, we are convinced that the rulings of the district court in
this case are correct. Accordingly, its judgment of April 11, 2012 must be, in all
respects,
AFFIRMED.
