Background

The court considered the Report and Recommendation issued by United States Magistrate Judge Dulce Foster on November 23, 2022. The opinion states that no objections were filed within the permitted time. When no objections are filed, the court reviews the report and recommendation for clear error, meaning an obvious mistake.

The opinion does not describe the underlying claims or the reasoning in the report and recommendation. It states that, after reviewing the report and the record, the court found no error, clear or otherwise.

Rulings

The court accepted the Report and Recommendation. It denied the defendants’ Motion for Fees and Costs. It also denied the defendants’ Motion to Dismiss without prejudice, meaning the order did not bar another motion to dismiss based solely on that ruling.

Judge

Judge Katherine M. Menendez entered the order on March 30, 2023.
