In one sentence

In Thoresen v. Titus, Judge Tostrud accepted the recommendation, denied an extension request, and dismissed the matter without prejudice.

Who this affects

Joseph Christian Thoresen’s motion for an extension was denied, and his matter was dismissed without prejudice. Jeff Titus was the respondent.

What happened

In Thoresen v. Titus, Joseph Christian Thoresen asked for more time, and the court considered a magistrate judge’s recommendation in the case against Jeff Titus.

No party objected to the recommendation. The court therefore reviewed it for clear error and found none.

Judge Tostrud accepted the recommendation, denied Thoresen’s motion for an extension, and dismissed the matter without prejudice, meaning the dismissal did not bar refiling.
