IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF MONTANA HELENA DIVISION

Plaintiffs, ORDER

v.

THE ALIERA COMPANIES, INC., TRINITY HEALTHSHARE, TIMOTHY MOSES, SHELLEY STEELE, CHASE MOSES, and DOES 1-10,

Defendants.

United States Magistrate Judge Kathleen DeSoto entered Findings and Recommendation in this matter on January 29, 2024. (Doc. 262.) When a party makes no objections, the Court need not review de novo the proposed Findings and Recommendations. Bad Old Man v. Arn,

, 153- 52 (1986). This Court will review Judge DeSoto’s Findings and Recommendation, however, for clear error. McDonnell Douglas Corp. v. Commodore Bus. Mach., Inc.,

(9th Cir. 1981).

All proceedings in the case have been stayed from July 2021 due to bankruptcy proceedings filed by Defendants The Aliera Companies, Inc., (“Aliera”) and Sharity Ministries, Inc., formerly Trinity Healthshare, Inc.,

(“Sharity”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware. (Doc. 244.) The Delaware Bankruptcy Court issued an Order confirming the Bankruptcy Plan filed by Sharity on December 2, 2021. In re Sharity Ministries, Inc., Case No. 21-11001-TMH, Docs. 264, 299, 343 (Bankr. D. Del.). The

Delaware Bankruptcy Court issued an Order confirming the Bankruptcy Plan filed by Aliera on August 17, 2023. In re The Aliera Companies, Inc., Case No. 21- 11548-TMH, Docs. 566, 576 (Bankr. D. Del.). Judge DeSoto conducted a Zoom

status conference with all attorneys of record in the matter on January 29, 2024 during which the Court conferred with the parties as to the appropriate next steps in the litigation. (Doc. 259.) Judge DeSoto recommends Aliera and Sharity be dismissed as parties from the action in light of the confirmation Orders in In re

Sharity Ministries, Inc. and In re The Aliera Companies, Inc.. (Doc. 262.) The Court finds no clear error in Judge DeSoto’s Findings and Recommendation. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that Judge DeSoto’s Findings and

Recommendation (Doc. 262) are ADOPTED IN FULL. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Defendant The Aliera Companies, Inc., and Defendant Sharity Ministries, Inc., formerly Trinity Healthshare, Inc., are DISMISSED as parties to this action. DATED this 21st day of February, 2024.
