Stigall v. Green ( 2022 )

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT WESTERN DISTRICT OF KENTUCKY LOUISVILLE DIVISION JORIAN STIGALL, Plaintiff, v. Civil Action No. 3:18-cv-168-DJH-RSE OFFICER JOHN GREEN et al., Defendants. * * * * * ORDER The Court previously referred Plaintiff Jorian Stigall’s motion for leave to amend the complaint to Magistrate Judge Regina S. Edwards for report and recommendation. (Docket No. 83; see D.N. 71) Judge Edwards issued her report and recommendation on November 17, 2022, recommending that the motion for leave to amend be granted. (D.N. 84) The time for objections to the magistrate judge’s recommendation has now run, with no objections filed. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C); Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b)(2). Because no party has objected to the report and recommendation, the Court may adopt it without review. See Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 150 (1985). Nevertheless, the Court has conducted its own review of the record and finds no error in the magistrate judge’s conclusions. Accordingly, and the Court being otherwise sufficiently advised, it is hereby ORDERED as follows: (1) The Report and Recommendation of Magistrate Judge Regina S. Edwards (D.N. 84) is ADOPTED in full and INCORPORATED by reference herein. (2) Stigall’s motion for leave to amend (D.N. 71) is GRANTED. The Clerk of Court is DIRECTED to file the tendered amended complaint (D.N. 71-4) in the record of this matter. (3) Defendant Mary King’s motion for summary judgment (D.N. 60) is REINSTATED to the Court’s docket. (4) Within fourteen (14) days of entry of this Order, Defendant John Green shall advise the Court whether his motion for summary judgment (D.N. 74) should be reinstated and treated as a motion for partial summary judgment or whether he wishes to withdraw the motion and file a new motion addressing all claims.
