Karr v. Biden
Trial Court Opinion
IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF MONTANA MISSOULA DIVISION DONALD RICHARD KARR, JR., CV 24–84–M–DLC Plaintiff, vs. ORDER JOSEPH BIDEN, JR., UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS, DENIS McDONOGH, VETERANS AFFAIR UNION AFGE (AFL-CIO), TRICARE INSURANCE, DONALD LEE KARR, and RESPONDENTS AND DOES 1–1500, Defendants. _ United States Magistrate Judge Kathleen L. Desoto entered Findings and Recommendation in this matter on July 30, 2024. (Doc. 4.) For the reasons herein, the Court adopts Judge DeSoto’s Findings and Recommendation in full. Because no parties objected, they are not entitled to de novo review.
28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1); United States v. Reyna-Tapia,
328 F.3d 1114, 1121(9th Cir. 2003). Therefore, the Court reviews the Findings and Recommendation 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). Judge DeSoto recommends that the Complaint (Doc. 1) be dismissed without prejudice pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(b) for failure to prosecute and failure to comply with the Court’s orders. (Doc. 4 at 4.) The basis for the recommendation is that Karr has failed to pay the $405 civil filing fee, file
an application to proceed in forma pauperis, or otherwise make a filing in this case beyond the Complaint. (/d. at 1-2.) Reviewing for clear error, the Court finds
none. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that Judge DeSoto’s Findings and Recommendation (Doc. 4) are ADOPTED IN FULL. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Complaint (Doc. 1) is DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(b) for failure to prosecute and failure to comply with the Court’s orders. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Clerk of Court shall enter, by separate document, judgment of dismissal pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 58. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Court certifies, pursuant to Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 24(a)(4)(B), that any appeal from this disposition would not be taken in good faith.
