In one sentence

In Braxton v. Minnesota, Judge Bryan adopted the magistrate judge’s recommendation and denied Braxton’s preliminary-injunction motion without prejudice.

Who this affects

What happened

Sonya Braxton sued the State of Minnesota and other defendants. The opinion does not describe the underlying claims or the relief she seeks in the lawsuit.

Braxton filed a motion seeking an injunction, including a preliminary injunction. A magistrate judge recommended denying the motion to the extent it sought a preliminary injunction. Neither party objected to that recommendation.

Judge Jeffrey M. Bryan reviewed the recommendation for clear error, found none, adopted it, and denied Braxton’s injunction motion without prejudice. This ruling did not decide the underlying claims described in the lawsuit.

Background

The court considered Sonya Braxton’s motion for an injunction in her case against the State of Minnesota and other defendants. The opinion does not explain the underlying claims or the specific conduct the requested injunction would address.

Report and Recommendation

United States Magistrate Judge Leo I. Brisbois issued a report and recommendation dated September 30, 2023. It recommended denying Braxton’s motion to the extent it sought a preliminary injunction. Neither party objected, and the time for objections had passed.

Review and Ruling

Because no timely objections were filed, the court reviewed the recommendation for clear error, meaning an obvious mistake in the recommendation. The court found no clear error, adopted the report and recommendation, and denied Braxton’s injunction motion without prejudice. The order did not decide the merits of the underlying case.
