Case
Xayamonty v. Thomas · No. 0:23-cv-00726
Judge
Wilhelmina Wright
Date
July 28, 2023

Background

The court considered the May 12, 2023 report and recommendation issued by United States Magistrate Judge John F. Docherty. The opinion does not state the underlying reason for the recommended dismissal.

Review of the Recommendation

No party filed objections to the report and recommendation. The court therefore reviewed it for “clear error,” meaning an obvious mistake in the recommendation. After reviewing the report and the case materials, the court found no clear error.

Ruling

The court adopted the report and recommendation. It dismissed the matter without prejudice, meaning the order did not state that refiling was barred. The court also denied Khamsay Xayamonty’s application to proceed in district court without prepaying fees or costs as moot, meaning the court found that application no longer required a decision. The court directed that judgment be entered.
