Plaintiffs,
VS. 	CIVIL ACTION NO. 4:26-CV-02687
DIGITAL BUSINESS NETWORKS
ALLIANCE, INC., et al.,
Defendants.
ORDER ADOPTING MEMORANDUM & RECOMMENDATION
Before the Court are Defendants McGinnis Lochridge, LLP’s, Philip Schmandt’s, OFS
Portal, LLC’s, and Digital Business Networks Alliance, Inc.’s motions to dismiss (ECF Nos. 46,
49, 53). Magistrate Judge Yvonne Y. Ho, to whom this case is referred for all pretrial matters,
recommended DENYING the Motions to Dismiss as moot, because Plaintiff has since filed an
amended complaint. See ECF No. 79 (Memorandum, Recommendation, and Order). Defendants
did not object to this Recommendation. Pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 72(b), the
Court has reviewed the Recommendation as to the Motions to Dismiss for clear error. Finding no
clear error, the Court adopts the Recommendation.
Plaintiff Michelle Paige has filed objections Judge Ho’s Memorandum, Recommendation,
and Order pertaining to Judge Ho’s reasoning regarding the denial of Plaintiff’s Motions to Strike
Defendants’ Motions to Dismiss (ECF Nos. 51, 54, 59). Because the Motions to Strike are not
dispositive of Plaintiff’s claims, the Court has reviewed the portions of the Order to which Plaintiff
objects to determine whether they are clearly erroneous or contrary to law. See FED. R. C IV. P RO.
72(a). However, the Court finds no clear error in Judge Ho’s order on the Motions to Strike.
Accordingly, the Court hereby ADOPTS the Memorandum, Recommendation, and Order
