This case was assigned to United States District Court Judge Dale A. Kimball, who then
referred the case to United States Magistrate Judge Dustin B. Pead under 28 U.S.C. §
636(b)(1)(B). On December 11, 2025, Magistrate Judge Pead issued a Report and
Recommendation [ECF No. 11], recommending that the court grant Defendant’s Motion for a
Pre-Fling Order and Motion for Stay of Response Deadlines.
The Report and Recommendation notified Plaintiff that any objection to the Report and
Recommendation must be filed within fourteen days of receiving it. As of the date of this Order,
Plaintiff has not filed an Objection to the Report and Recommendation, and the time for doing so
has passed.
A Magistrate Judge’s Report and Recommendation is subject to de novo review by this
court. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B); see also Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b). The court has reviewed the
Report and Recommendation and the record de novo and agrees with Magistrate Judge Pead’s
analysis and recommendations in their entirety. Therefore, the court adopts and affirms
