U.S. District Court, District of Minnesota · Decided October 28, 2025

Larry G. Schultz v. 3M Company and Solventum Company

Trial Court Opinion

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT DISTRICT OF MINNESOTA

Larry G. Schultz, Case No. 25-cv-3223 (JMB/SGE) Plaintiff,

v. ORDER 3M Company and Solventum Company, Defendants.

This matter is before the Court on the Report and Recommendation (R&R) of Magistrate Judge Shannon G. Elkins. (Doc. No. 7.) The R&R recommends dismissal without prejudice of the Complaint (Doc. No. 1) and denial of Schultz’s Motion to Proceed In Forma Pauperis (Doc. No. 2). Because no timely objections were filed, see D. Minn. L.R. 72.2(b)(1), the Court reviews the R&R for clear error, see Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b); Grinder v. Gammon, 73 F.3d 793, 795 (8th Cir. 1996) (per curiam).

Finding no clear error, and based upon all the files, records, and proceedings in the above-captioned matter, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT: 1. The R&R (Doc. No. 7) is ADOPTED.

2. This action is DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE.

3. The Motion to Proceed In Forma Pauperis (Doc. No. 2) is DENIED as moot.

LET JUDGMENT BE ENTERED ACCORDINGLY.
