THOMPSON Plaintiff pro se 410 Hannah Street Apt. 2 Endicott, NY 13760 DAVID N. HURD United States District Judge DECISION and ORDER Plaintiff brought this action alleging employment discrimination against the New York State Office of Mental Retardation and Developmental Disabilities. On April 22, 2013, the Honorable David E. Peebles, United States Magistrate Judge, advised, by ReportRecommendation, that plaintiff's complaint be dismissed with leave to amend. Following the issuance of the Report-Recommendation, plaintiff filed what is titled an "amended claim" and appears to be her attempt at curing the deficiencies addressed in the ReportRecommendation.1 No actual objections to the Report-Recommendation were made. Based upon a careful review of the entire file and the recommendations of the Magistrate Judge, the Report-Recommendation is accepted in whole. See 28 U.S.C. ยง 636(b)(1). Therefore, it is ORDERED that Plaintiff's complaint is DISMISSED, unless within thirty days of the date of this Decision and Order, plaintiff files an amended complaint that remedies the deficiencies identified in the Report-Recommendation. The Clerk is directed to serve a copy of this Decision and Order upon plaintiff in accordance with the Local Rules. IT IS SO ORDERED. Dated: January 16, 2014 Utica, New York. 1 Plaintiff is advised that this filing is not accepted as an amended complaint and she must file an amended complaint within thirty days of this Decision and Order. Plaintiff is advised that any amended complaint will replace the existing complaint, and must be a wholly integrated and complete pleading that does not rely upon or incorporate by reference any pleading or document previously filed with the court. -2-
