Castro v. Stewart

1 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 2 DISTRICT OF NEVADA Case No.: 2:19-cv-01856-JAD-NJK Logan M. Castro, Plaintiff Order Adopting Report & Recommendation 6 and Dismissing Claims against City of Reno v. Russell A. Stewart, et al., 8 [ECF No. 15] 9 Defendants

In this excessive-force case, Plaintiff Logan M. Castro sues a Reno police officer whom he alleges hit him with a vehicle after Castro fled on foot, along with the City of Reno. The magistrate judge has reviewed Castro’s amended complaint and recommends in a report and recommendation (R&R) that I dismiss his claims against the City of Reno because Castro seeks to hold the City liable under a respondeat superior theory, and the law does not allow him to do so.1 The deadline for any party to object to that recommendation was August 29, 2020, and no party filed anything. “[N]o review is required of a magistrate judge’s report and recommendation unless objections are filed.”2 Having reviewed the R&R, I find good cause to adopt it, and I do.
