Bierbrauer v. Zahn

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
DISTRICT OF MINNESOTA
BRANDON BIERBRAUER,
Plaintiff,
v.
DENNIS ZAHN,
Defendant.
Case No. 24-cv-3812 (LMP/DJF)
ORDER ADOPTING
REPORT AND
RECOMMENDATION
This matter is before the Court on the Report and Recommendation (“R&R”) of
United States Magistrate Judge Dulce J. Foster. ECF No. 94. The R&R recommends that
Defendant Dennis Zahn’s motion for summary judgment (ECF No. 81) be granted and that
Plaintiff Brandon Bierbrauer’s claims against Zahn be dismissed. 	See id. at 7–17. 	No
objections to the R&R have been filed, so the Court reviews the R&R for clear error. See
Nur v. Olmsted County, 563 F. Supp. 3d 946, 949 (D. Minn. 2021) (first citing Fed. R. Civ.
P. 72(b); and then citing Grinder v. Gammon, 73 F.3d 793, 795 (8th Cir. 1996) (per
curiam)). Having reviewed the R&R, the Court finds no clear error.
Accordingly, based on the foregoing, and on all the files, records, and proceedings
in this matter, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:
1. 	The R&R (ECF No. 94) is ADOPTED;
2. 	Defendant Dennis Zahn’s Motion for Summary Judgment (ECF No. 81) is
GRANTED; and

3. 	This matter is DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE.
LET JUDGMENT BE ENTERED ACCORDINGLY.
