In one sentence

In Bakambia v. Ghebre, Judge Provinzino adopted the recommendation and dismissed Bakambia’s claims against Lorbriecki without prejudice.

Who this affects

Marc Amouri Bakambia’s claims against Lawrence Lorbriecki were dismissed without prejudice; the order did not resolve Bakambia’s claims against the other defendants.

What happened

In Bakambia v. Ghebre, Marc Amouri Bakambia asked the court to disregard his claims against Lawrence Lorbriecki. A magistrate judge recommended dismissing those claims because Bakambia did not appear to seek a remedy tied to Lorbriecki.

Neither party objected to the recommendation. The court therefore reviewed it for clear error and found none.

Judge Laura M. Provinzino adopted the recommendation in full and dismissed all claims against Lawrence Lorbriecki without prejudice under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(a)(2).

Background

Marc Amouri Bakambia sued multiple defendants, including Lawrence Lorbriecki. On October 8, 2024, Bakambia filed a letter asking the court, among other things, to “disregard” his claims against Lorbriecki. The magistrate judge’s Report and Recommendation concluded that Bakambia did not appear to seek any remedy tied to Lorbriecki and recommended dismissing Lorbriecki from the case.

Court’s Review

Neither party objected to the Report and Recommendation. Because there were no objections, the court reviewed it for clear error. The court found no error and adopted the recommendation in full.

Ruling

The court dismissed all claims in the complaint against Lawrence Lorbriecki without prejudice under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(a)(2). “Without prejudice” means the order did not state that those claims were permanently barred from being brought again. Judge Laura M. Provinzino directed that judgment be entered accordingly.
