Allen v. Grandlienard et al

Filing 180

ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATIONS AS MODIFIED 162 . (Written Opinion) Signed by Judge Wilhelmina M. Wright on 01/10/2017. (TJB)

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
DISTRICT OF MINNESOTA
Paris Da’Jon Allen,

Case No. 15-cv-1905 (WMW/SER)
Plaintiff,
ORDER ADOPTING AS MODIFIED
REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION

v.
Kathy Reid, Kelly Classen, Dr. Stephen
Crann, Dietian, and Nan Larson,
Defendants.

This matter is before the Court on the November 29, 2016 Report and
Recommendation of United States Magistrate Judge Steven E. Rau. (Dkt. 162.) No
objections to the Report and Recommendation have been filed in the time period
permitted.
Before the magistrate judge issued the pending Report and Recommendation,
Plaintiff filed two documents styled as “objections” pursuant to “Rule 46 Fed. R. Civ. P.”
(Dkts. 129, 139.) Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 46 permits a litigant to object to a
court ruling or order by “stat[ing] the action that [the litigant] wants the court to take or
objects to, along with the grounds for the request or objection.” Plaintiff’s objections
pursuant to Rule 46 do not identify a ruling or order of this Court to which he objects.
Instead, Plaintiff’s objections largely reiterate the requests for relief sought in Plaintiff’s
other motions. To the extent that Plaintiff’s Rule 46 objections pertain to issues that are
addressed in the November 29, 2016 Report and Recommendation, the objections are
denied as moot. In all other respects, Plaintiff’s Rule 46 objections are denied without

prejudice because they do not clearly identify either the order or ruling to which they
object or the grounds for the relief sought or for the objection.
Based on the Report and Recommendation, the foregoing analysis and all the files,
records and proceedings herein, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED:
1.

The November 29, 2016 Report and Recommendation, (Dkt. 162), is

ADOPTED AS MODIFIED as outlined herein.
2.

Plaintiff’s motion for declaratory judgment, (Dkt. 109), is DENIED

WITHOUT PREJUDICE.
3.

Plaintiff’s motions for preliminary injunctive relief, (Dkts. 135, 136), are

DENIED.
4.

Plaintiff’s Rule 46 objections, (Dkts. 129, 139), are DENIED.

Dated: January 10, 2017
