UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
DISTRICT OF MINNESOTA
Civil No. 17-0437 (DSD/KMM)
Tony Terrell Robinson,
Plaintiff,
v.
ORDER
Minnesota, State of et al.,
Defendants.
The above matter is before the court upon the July 22,
2020, report and recommendation (R&R) of United States
Magistrate Judge Katherine M. Menendez.
The court previously
granted two requests by plaintiff Tony Terrell Robinson to
extend the deadline by which Robinson must file objections to
the R&R.
See ECF No. 358 (granting request for thirty-day
extension); ECF No. 360 (granting request for forty-day
extension).
Robinson has moved for a third extension of sixty days,
which the court now denies.
Parties typically have two weeks
after an R&R is issued to file objections.
72.2(b).
D. Minn. L.R.
This R&R has been pending since July 22, 2020, nearly
four months.
Although the court is sympathetic to Robinson’s
circumstances, the court is not convinced that another extension
will help.
CASE 0:17-cv-00437-DSD-KMM Doc. 364 Filed 11/16/20 Page 2 of 3
Because no objections have been filed within the timeline
previously set, the court now considers whether to adopt the
R&R.
The court has carefully reviewed the parties’ briefing and
evidence regarding each of the pending motions.
Based on this
review of the file, record, and proceedings herein, the court
determines that the R&R is well-reasoned and correct.
Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:
1.
The motion for an extension to file objections to the
R&R [ECF No. 361] is denied;
2.
The R&R [ECF No. 356] is adopted in its entirety;
3.
The motions for summary judgment by defendants Ranjiv
Saini, Stephen Dannewitz, Jeanne Luck, and Centurion of
Minnesota, LLC [ECF Nos. 219, 242, 252] are granted;
4.
The motions to deny summary judgment as premature [ECF
Nos. 268, 273] are denied;
5.
The remaining motions to stay expert discovery [ECF
No. 283], to appoint expert [ECF No. 297], to have subpoenas
served [ECF No. 319], and to join motion to stay expert
discovery [ECF No. 341] are denied as moot;
6.
Defendant Advanced Medical Imaging, Inc. is dismissed;1
and
Although not involved in any of the motions for summary
judgment, it is appropriate to dismiss Advanced Medical Imaging,
Inc. (AMI) at this time. Notably, Robinson’s attempts to
properly serve a summons on or seek a waiver of service from AMI

all failed. See ECF Nos. 31, 91, 131. Because AMI was not
properly served within the time allowed by Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(m),
the court now dismisses AMI. Further, Robinson’s claims against
AMI rest on the same factual and legal arguments made against
defendants Saini, Dannewitz, Luck, and Centurion of Minnesota.
See generally 2d Am. Compl., ECF No. 197. Because the court
determines that summary judgment is properly granted to those
defendants, Robinson’s claims against AMI must also fail.
