Background

Micah Glenn Morson brought this case against Blue Earth County Jail and other defendants. The opinion adopting the report and recommendation does not describe Morson’s claims, the defendants’ positions, or the reasons for the recommended dismissal.

Court’s review

United States Magistrate Judge Tony N. Leung issued a report and recommendation on August 21, 2020. No objections were filed. Under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 72(b), the district court therefore reviewed the report for clear error. The court stated that it found no clear error.

Ruling

The court adopted the August 21, 2020 report and recommendation and dismissed the matter without prejudice. The court also directed that judgment be entered. The opinion does not explain the basis for the dismissal because the report and recommendation’s substance is not included in the provided text.
