OPINION
Pro se plaintiff Omar Antonio Lopez filed this action seeking relief from alleged deprivations of his civil liberties pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. This lawsuit is before the court on the recommendation of the United States Magistrate Judge that this case be dismissed without prejudice for failure to comply with court orders and because plaintiff has filed various documents that appear to be based on frivolous
"sovereign citizen" theories. Also before the court are plaintiff's objections to the recommendation.
1
After an independent and de novo review of the record, the court concludes the objections should be overruled and the magistrate judge's recommendation adopted to the extent it recommends dismissal for failure to comply with court orders. The court declines to dismiss on the basis of plaintiff's filing of various frivolous sovereign citizen documents in the record, because the court does not see any sovereign citizen language in the second amended complaint. Contra Richard v. Embrace Home Loans, Inc., No. 2:26-cv-55-ECM-JTA, 2026 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 43142 (M.D. Ala. Mar. 3, 2026) (Adams, M.J.) (order requiring plaintiff to replead complaint or face dismissal where complaint itself contained sovereign citizen language). An appropriate order and judgment will be entered. DONE, this the 2nd day of July, 2026. /s/ Myron H. Thompson
