As the magistrate judge noted, Carlson was previously subject to a filing injunction.
Carlson v. Ameriprise Fin., Civ. No. 08-5303 (MJD/JJK), slip op. at 67 (D. Minn. May 21,
2009). Later, the district judge in Ameriprise struck the injunction because Carlson had not
received notice and an opportunity to be heard. Carlson v. Ameriprise Fin., Civ. No. 08-5303
(MJD/JJK), slip op. at 2-3 (D. Minn. Sept. 17, 2009). Here, the recommendation to place a filing
injunction on Carlson and Carlson’s opportunity to object provided notice and an opportunity to
be heard. See Cok v. Family Court of R.I., 985 F.2d 32, 35 (1st Cir. 1993).
