Background

The opinion concerns Defendant Pablo Oliveira’s motion for summary judgment. It does not state the nature of Markets Group, Inc.’s underlying claims or the parties’ factual arguments. On February 3, 2020, Magistrate Judge Lehrburger issued a Report and Recommendation recommending that the motion be granted.

Review of the Recommendation

The parties’ objections to the Report and Recommendation were due on February 18, 2020. The district court stated that it had received no objections. Because there were no objections, the court reviewed the recommendation for clear error, meaning an obvious mistake apparent from the record. The court found no clear error.

Ruling

The court accepted and adopted the Report and Recommendation in its entirety. Defendant’s motion for summary judgment was granted. The Clerk of Court was directed to enter judgment for Defendant and close the case.
