Taylor Farms Retail, Inc. v. J&J Distributing Co.

Trial Court Opinion

                  UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT                           
                     DISTRICT OF MINNESOTA                               


 Taylor Farms Retail, Inc.,        Case No. 23-CV-2005 (KMM/DJF)         

               Plaintiff,                                                

ORDER

 v.                                                                      

 J&J Distributing Co., et al.,                                           

                Defendants.                                              


    This matter comes before the Court upon the Report and Recommendation (R&R) 
of United States Magistrate Judge Dulce J. Foster, dated October 12, 2023. The R&R 
recommends that this action be dismissed under Rule 4(m) of the Federal Rules of Civil 
Procedure. In support of its recommendation, the R&R cited both Plaintiff’s failure to serve 
the complaint within 90 days after the complaint was filed and Plaintiff’s failure to respond 
to Judge Foster’s September 28, 2023 Order requiring Plaintiff to provide proof of service 
or good cause for the failure to serve within Rule 4(m)’s timeline. Plaintiff has not objected 
to the R&R and has not engaged in the litigation in any meaningful way since a summons 
was issued on June 30, 2023.                                              
    The Court reviews de novo any portion of the R&R to which specific objections are 
made. 
28 U.S.C. § 636
(b)(1); D. Minn. LR 72.2(b). In the absence of objections, the Court 
reviews the R&R for clear error. Nur v. Olmsted County, 
563 F. Supp. 3d 946
, 949 (D. 
Minn. 2021) (citing Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b) and Grinder v. Gammon, 
73 F.3d 793, 795
 (8th 
Cir. 1996) (per curiam)). Based on the Court’s careful review of the R&R and the record 
in this case, the Magistrate Judge committed no error, clear or otherwise. 
    Accordingly,  IT  IS  HEREBY  ORDERED  that  this  matter  is  DISMISSED 

WITHOUT PREJUDICE pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(m) for failure to prosecute. 
    Let Judgment Be Entered Accordingly.
