What happened
In Tristan M. v. O’Malley, the court reviewed a magistrate judge’s recommendation concerning both sides’ motions for summary judgment, which ask the court to decide a case without a trial.
Neither party objected to the recommendation, and the deadline for objections had passed. The court therefore reviewed the recommendation for clear error, meaning an obvious mistake.
Judge Jeffrey M. Bryan found no clear error, adopted the recommendation, denied Tristan M.’s motion for summary judgment, and granted Martin J. O’Malley’s motion for summary judgment. Judgment was ordered to be entered accordingly.
