ORDER
Plaintiff Rodolfo Avelar, as Personal Representative of the Estate of Andrew Avelar, brought this civil rights action under
42 U.S.C. § 1983and Oklahoma state law. Defendant Board of County Commissioners for Oklahoma County (Board) moved to dismiss Plaintiff’s Second Amended Complaint [Doc. No. 16], to which Plaintiff filed a response [Doc. No. 19]. The matter was referred to United States Magistrate Judge Shon T. Erwin for initial proceedings in accordance with
28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B) and (C). On February 14, 2025, the magistrate judge issued a Report and Recommendation [Doc. No. 23], in which he recommended denying the Board’s Motion to Dismiss [Doc. No. 16]. The magistrate judge notified the Board that it could file an objection to the R&R on or before March 3, 2025, and that failure to timely object to the R&R waives the right to appellate review of both factual and legal issues contained therein. See Casanova v. Ulibarri,
595 F.3d 1120, 1123(10th Cir. 2010). Upon review of the file and noting no timely objection to the findings and recommendations of the magistrate judge, the Court ADOPTS the Report and Recommendation [Doc. No. 23] in its entirety. IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that, for the reasons stated in the Report and Recommendation, the Board’s Motion to Dismiss [Doc. No. 16] is DENIED. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Board’s previous Motion to Dismiss [Doc. No. 7], which addressed Plaintiff's First Amended Complaint [Doc. No. 1-2], is therefore DENIED as MOOT. IT IS SO ORDERED this 5" day of March, 2025.
