What happened
In Jamonte Allison, Jr. v. Southern Illinois, James Moore, Victor Lewis, Tyrea, and Nashiua Moore, a magistrate judge recommended dismissing Allison’s complaint without prejudice, denying his request to proceed without prepaying fees or costs, and treating his request for appointed counsel as moot. The order states that no objections were filed.
The district court reviewed the recommendation for clear error and found none. It adopted the recommendation and dismissed Allison’s complaint without prejudice, meaning the order did not bar a later filing. The court also denied Allison’s request to proceed without prepaying fees or costs as moot and denied his motion to appoint counsel as moot.
Judge Laura M. Provinzino entered the order on April 10, 2025, and directed that judgment be entered. The order does not explain the underlying reason for dismissing the complaint.

Background
The court considered a report and recommendation from United States Magistrate Judge Douglas L. Micko. The recommendation addressed Jamonte Allison Jr.’s complaint, his application to proceed in the district court without prepaying fees or costs, and his motion to appoint counsel.
The order states that no objections to the report and recommendation were filed within the permitted period. The district court therefore reviewed it for clear error, meaning it looked for an obvious mistake in the recommendation.
Ruling
The court found no clear error and adopted the report and recommendation. It dismissed Allison’s complaint without prejudice. It also denied Allison’s motion to proceed without prepaying fees or costs as moot and denied his motion to appoint counsel as moot.
The order directs that judgment be entered. It does not state the underlying reason for dismissing the complaint or decide the merits of any claim.
