Case
Stone v. Jesson · No. 0:11-cv-00951
Judge
Elizabeth Cowan Wright
Date
Apr. 15, 2019

Background

Plaintiff Charles Richard Stone filed a motion for a temporary restraining order. The opinion does not provide details about the requested order, the defendants’ position, or the underlying dispute.

Court’s Review

United States Magistrate Judge Hildy Bowbeer issued a report and recommendation on March 7, 2019. No objections were filed. Under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 72(b), the district court therefore reviewed the recommendation for clear error—an obvious mistake in the magistrate judge’s reasoning or conclusion. The court found no clear error after reviewing the recommendation and the case records.

Ruling

Judge Wilhelmina M. Wright adopted the March 7, 2019 report and recommendation. The court denied Stone’s motion for a temporary restraining order without prejudice, meaning the order did not bar refiling the motion. The opinion does not explain the recommendation’s substantive reasoning.
