Magistrate Judge Elizabeth Cowan Wright issued an Order and Report and Recommendation on December 17, 2024. The opinion states that no party objected to it.

Court’s Review and Ruling

Because there were no objections, the court reviewed the report and recommendation for clear error under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 72(b). The court found no clear error.

Judge Eric C. Tostrud ordered that the report and recommendation be accepted in full. The court denied the defendant’s motion to dismiss without prejudice and denied Miles’s motion for a preliminary injunction without prejudice. The opinion does not state the reasons for either denial because it does not include the report and recommendation’s analysis.
