What happened

In Favors v. Lanin, Magistrate Judge Leo I. Brisbois issued a report and recommendation on August 27, 2024. The opinion does not describe the underlying allegations or requested relief beyond identifying the request as an “immediate [Preemptory] Restraining Order.”

No objections to the recommendation were filed within the permitted time. The district court therefore reviewed it for clear error, meaning an obvious mistake, and found none.
