Plaintiff Chikezie Ottah and Defendant Verifone System Inc.; the order dismisses the case and closes the court docket.
What happened
In Ottah v. Verifone System Inc., a magistrate judge issued a report and recommendation on June 21, 2022, and mailed it to Plaintiff Chikezie Ottah, who was representing himself.
The court received no objections by the July 6 deadline. It therefore reviewed the recommendation for clear error, meaning an obvious mistake, and found none.
The court adopted the recommendation in full and dismissed the case. Judge Analisa Torres also directed the clerk to terminate all open motions, close the case, and mail the order to Ottah.

Background
The opinion concerns a report and recommendation issued by Magistrate Judge Gabriel W. Gorenstein on June 21, 2022. The recommendation was mailed to Plaintiff Chikezie Ottah, who was proceeding without a lawyer, on June 22, 2022. The opinion does not describe the claims, the recommendation's proposed disposition, or the legal grounds discussed in the recommendation.
Review
The court received no objections by the July 6, 2022 deadline. Because there were no objections, the court reviewed the report and recommendation for clear error—an obvious mistake—and found none.
Ruling
The court adopted the report and recommendation in its entirety and dismissed the case. It directed the clerk to terminate all open motions, close the case, and mail a copy of the order to Ottah. The opinion does not state whether the dismissal was with or without prejudice.
Uncertainty
Because the report and recommendation is not included in the provided opinion text, the basis for the dismissal and the issues in the case cannot be determined from this order alone.
