STATE FARM MUTUAL AUTOMOBILE INSURANCE COMPANY,
Defendant.

ORDER
______________________________________________________________________________
Before the Court is the Recommendation of United States Magistrate Judge Nina Y.
Wang (ECF No. 46) to grant Defendant’s Motion to Strike Late Expert Disclosure (ECF No. 42).
The Court accepts and adopts the Recommendation, which is incorporated into this Order by
reference. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B); Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b).
The Recommendation advised that specific written objections were due within fourteen
days after being served a copy of the Recommendation. The deadline for responding to the
Recommendation has come and gone with no response.
“In the absence of a timely objection, the district court may review a magistrate judge’s
report under any standard it deems appropriate.” Summers v. Utah, 927 F.3d 1165, 1167 (10th
Cir. 1991). The magistrate judge determined that the disclosure at issue was made after the
Court-imposed deadline, causing both prejudice and surprise to Defendant. The magistrate judge
further determined that Plaintiff failed to show that the violation was either justified or harmless.
The Court concludes the magistrate judge’s analysis was sound and discerns no error on
the face of the record. Therefore, the Court ACCEPTS the Recommendation (ECF No. 46) and
GRANTS the Motion to Strike (ECF No. 42).
DATED this 1st day of April, 2021.
BY THE COURT:
