What happened

Alex Maombi v. The Department of Homeland Security concerns a district court’s review of a magistrate judge’s recommendation. The opinion does not explain the underlying claims or the recommended reasons for dismissal.

Magistrate Judge Dulce J. Foster issued the report and recommendation on March 28, 2023. No objections were filed. The district court therefore reviewed the recommendation for clear error and found no error.

Judge Katherine M. Menendez ordered that the action be dismissed without prejudice and directed that judgment be entered. The opinion does not state the reason for dismissal, and dismissal without prejudice allows the action to be filed again.
