Trial Court Opinion

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF UTAH

TRIGINAL D. JACKSON, ORDER ADOPTING MAGISTRATE Plaintiff, JUDGE’S REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION v.

STATE OF UTAH, Case No. 2:18-cv-802

Defendant. Chief Judge Robert J. Shelby

Magistrate Judge Evelyn J. Furse

The undersigned referred this case to Magistrate Judge Evelyn J. Furse pursuant to

28 U.S.C. § 636

(b)(1)(B).1 On June 7, 2019, Judge Furse issued a Report and Recommendation.2 Judge Furse recommends that the court deny Plaintiff’s Motion for Writ of Mandamus3 because the court lacks the authority to grant the relief requested.4 In the alternative, Judge Furse recommends that the court deny Plaintiff’s request for injunctive relief “because the Younger abstention doctrine bars this court from adjudicating [Plaintiff’s] request.”5 Neither party objects to Judge Furse’s Report and Recommendation, so the court reviews the Report and Recommendation for clear error.6

501 F.2d 196, 206

(9th Cir. 1974), cert. denied,
