Background
The case came before the district court on a report and recommendation from United States Magistrate Judge Elizabeth Cowan Wright. The recommendation advised the court to deny Jason H.’s motion for summary judgment and grant Kilolo Kijakazi’s motion for summary judgment.
Court’s Review
No objections were filed. Because there were no objections, the district court reviewed the report and recommendation for clear error, meaning an obvious mistake. After reviewing the recommendation and the record, the court found no error, clear or otherwise.
Ruling
The court accepted the report and recommendation, denied Jason H.’s motion for summary judgment, and granted Kijakazi’s motion for summary judgment. The court also dismissed the case with prejudice, meaning the dismissal bars refiling the same case. Judge Katherine M. Menendez directed that judgment be entered.
