Background
Melissa L. Anderson sued NAES Corporation. NAES was also identified as a third-party plaintiff, and Mechanical Systems, Inc. was identified as a third-party defendant. The court considered a report and recommendation issued by United States Magistrate Judge Becky R. Thorson on June 8, 2020. No objections were filed within the permitted period.
Court’s Review
Because no objections were filed, the court reviewed the report and recommendation for clear error. The order states that the court acted based on the report and recommendation, the case files, the records, and the proceedings.
Rulings
The court adopted Magistrate Judge Thorson’s report and recommendation. It denied NAES’s first motion for partial summary judgment, denied NAES’s motion to strike a pleading, and denied Mechanical Systems, Inc.’s request to extend the deadline for submitting an errata sheet.
The order does not describe the claims, the arguments on the partial-summary-judgment motion, or the reasoning in the adopted report and recommendation. The supplied case name refers to “Benson Power, LLC,” but the opinion’s caption identifies the defendant as “NAES Corporation”; this summary follows the opinion’s caption.
