Background
The opinion concerns a report and recommendation (R&R) prepared by Magistrate Judge Barbara C. Moses. The R&R addressed the respondent’s motion to dismiss. The opinion does not describe the petitioner’s underlying claims or the arguments supporting or opposing dismissal.
Court’s Review
No objections were filed to the R&R. District Judge Analisa Torres therefore reviewed it for clear error, meaning an obvious mistake in the recommendation. The court found no clear error and adopted the R&R in its entirety.
Disposition
The court granted the respondent’s motion to dismiss. It directed the clerk to terminate the motion, mail a copy of the order to the petitioner pro se, and close the case. The opinion does not state whether the dismissal was with or without prejudice.
