Trial Court Opinion
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT NORTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK
GERALD J. MOBLEY,
Plaintiff, 9:21-cv-299 (BKS/ATB)
v.
SERGEANT CRANE, et al.,
Defendants.
Appearances: Plaintiff pro se: Gerald J. Mobley Brooklyn, NY 11205 For Defendants: Letitia James Attorney General of the State of New York Brenda T. Baddam Assistant Attorney General, of Counsel The Capitol Albany, NY 12224 Hon. Brenda K. Sannes, United States District Judge: MEMORANDUM-DECISION AND ORDER Plaintiff pro se Gerald J. Mobley commenced this action under
42 U.S.C. § 1983asserting claims arising out of his incarceration at Marcy Correctional Facility. (Dkt. No. 1). On June 21, 2021, Defendants filed a motion to dismiss under Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(6) asserting that Plaintiff’s claims were barred by the statute of limitations. (Dkt. No. 14). Plaintiff did not file a response to the motion. This matter was referred to United States Magistrate Judge Andrew T. Baxter who, on November 3, 2021, issued a Report and Recommendation recommending that Defendants’ motion to dismiss be granted unless, in objections to the Report and Recommendation, plaintiff asserted plausible grounds supporting equitable tolling of the applicable statute of limitations for a sufficient time period to render the filing date of his complaint timely. (Dkt. No. 16). Magistrate Judge Baxter advised the parties that under
28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1), they had fourteen days within which to file written objections to the report, and that failure to object to the report within fourteen days would preclude appellate review. (/d. at 10-11). No objections were filed. As no objections to the Report and Recommendation were filed, and the time for filing objections has expired, the Court reviews the Report and Recommendation for clear error. See Petersen v. Astrue,
2 F. Supp. 3d 223, 228-29(N.D.N.Y. 2012); Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b) advisory committee’s note to 1983 amendment. Having reviewed the Report and Recommendation for clear error and found none, the Court adopts the Report and Recommendation in its entirety. For these reasons, it is ORDERED that the Report and Recommendation (Dkt. No. 16) is ADOPTED in its entirety; and it is further ORDERED that Defendants’ motion to dismiss (Dkt. No. 14) is GRANTED; and it is further ORDERED that the Clerk serve a copy of this Order upon the parties in accordance with the Local Rules. IT IS SO ORDERED.
