Cooley v. Anthony
Cooley v. Anthony
Trial Court Opinion
IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF MONTANA BILLINGS DIVISION
JORAN COOLEY, CV 17-165-BLG-SPW Plaintiff, VS. ORDER ADOPTING MAGISTRATE’S FINDINGS MOYRA ANTHONY, et al., AND RECOMMENDATIONS Defendants. .
The United States Magistrate Judge filed Findings and Recommendations on April, 29, 2020. (Doc. 28.) The Magistrate recommended dismissing the case for Plaintiff's failure to prosecute. (/d. at 4.) Pursuant to
28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1), parties are required to file written objections within 14 days of the filing of the Magistrate’s Findings and Recommendation. Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 6(d) extends that period by 3 days when a party is served by mail. No objections were filed. When neither party objects, this Court reviews the Magistrate’s Findings and Recommendations for clear error. McDonnell Douglas Corp. v. Commodore Bus. Mach., Inc.,
656 F.2d. 1309, 1313(9th Cir. 1981). Clear error exists if the Court is left with a “definite and firm conviction that a mistake has been committed.” United States v. Syrax,
235 F.3d 422, 427(9th Cir. 2000).
After reviewing the Findings and Recommendations, this Court does not find that the Magistrate committed clear error. Plaintiff has failed to prosecute his case, and dismissal is appropriate. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b); Dreith v. Nu Image, Inc.,
648 F.3d 779, 788(9th Cir. 2011); Ferdik v. Bonzelet,
963 F.2d 1258, 1260(9th Cir. 1992). Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that the proposed Findings and Recommendations entered by the United States Magistrate Judge (Doc. 28) are ADOPTED IN FULL. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED: 1. This action is DISMISSED under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(b) for failure to prosecute. 2. The clerk shall enter a judgment of dismissal. 3. Pursuant to Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 24(a)(4)B), the Court CERTIFIES that any appeal from this disposition would not be taken in good faith.
