Background

The court considered Judge Moses’s Report and Recommendation, which recommended granting Defendants’ motion to dismiss Plaintiff Arroyo’s claims without prejudice. The opinion does not state the underlying reasons for that recommendation.

Review standard

Because no objections were filed before the deadline, Judge Nathan reviewed the Report and Recommendation for clear error. That standard asks whether the record leaves the court with a firm conviction that a mistake was made.

Ruling

The court found no clear error, adopted the Report and Recommendation in its entirety, and granted Defendants’ motion to dismiss Plaintiff Arroyo’s claims without prejudice. The order does not provide additional details about the dismissed claims or the grounds for dismissal.
