Civil Procedure
In one sentence

In Day v. Deanae, Judge Tostrud dismissed the action without prejudice after no party challenged a recommendation that it be dismissed for failure to prosecute.

Who this affects

Keleta R. Day and Travis Robinson’s action was dismissed without prejudice. Deanae, Dundae W. (Dunnve), and Deadae were the named defendants.

What happened

Keleta R. Day and Travis Robinson sued Deanae, Dundae W. (Dunnve), and Deadae in Day v. Deanae. The opinion does not describe the underlying claims.

Magistrate Judge John F. Docherty issued a Report and Recommendation recommending how the case should be resolved. No party objected, so the district court reviewed it for clear error and found none.

Judge Eric C. Tostrud accepted the Report and Recommendation and dismissed the action without prejudice under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(b) for failure to prosecute. The court directed that judgment be entered.

Case
Day v. Deanae · No. 0:25-cv-00759
Judge

Date

Background

The opinion does not describe the plaintiffs’ underlying claims or the events leading to the lawsuit. The named plaintiffs are Keleta R. Day and Travis Robinson. The named defendants are Deanae, Dundae W. (Dunnve), and Deadae.

Report and Recommendation

Magistrate Judge John F. Docherty issued a Report and Recommendation on March 31, 2025. A Report and Recommendation is a magistrate judge’s proposed resolution of a matter for review by the district judge. No party objected to the document.

Because there were no objections, the district court reviewed the recommendation for clear error, meaning an obvious mistake in the recommendation. The court found no clear error. The opinion’s footnote states that although the document was titled “Order,” Judge Docherty clearly intended it to be a Report and Recommendation.

Ruling

Judge Eric C. Tostrud ordered that the Report and Recommendation be accepted. He also ordered that the action be dismissed without prejudice under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(b) for failure to prosecute. The order directed that judgment be entered accordingly.
