In Jackson v. Brown, Judge Wright adopted a recommendation and dismissed Wolske and Plotz without prejudice.

Who this affects

Richard Allen Wolske, Jr., and Jessica Plotz were dismissed without prejudice. The order does not state a disposition for the other defendants.

What happened

In Jackson v. Brown, the court reviewed a magistrate judge’s recommendation concerning two defendants, Richard Allen Wolske, Jr., and Jessica Plotz.

No timely objections were filed, so the court looked for obvious error in the recommendation. Finding none, it adopted the recommendation and dismissed Wolske and Plotz without prejudice, meaning the dismissal did not bar refiling.

Judge Wilhelmina M. Wright issued the order on January 16, 2019.
