On January 8, 2024, Judge Gorenstein issued a Report and Recommendation advising that Barsch receive $30,000 in damages and $672 in costs.
Review of the Recommendation
The Report and Recommendation gave the parties fourteen days to file objections and warned that failing to object on time would waive the right to object. No defendant filed an objection or requested an extension. The court therefore held that the defendants had waived their right to object to the recommendation or obtain appellate review.
Even though there were no objections, the court reviewed the motion and the Report and Recommendation. It found the recommendation well reasoned and supported by the facts and law.
Disposition
