Judgment in a Civil Case

United States District Court
WESTERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK

JEROME BARBER

JUDGMENT IN A CIVIL CASE
CASE NUMBER: 14-CV-1075-A

v.
CITY OF BUFFALO,
CAPT. MARK ANTONIO
☐ Jury Verdict. This action came before the Court for a trial by jury. The
issues have been tried and the jury has rendered its verdict.
☒ Decision by Court. This action came to trial or hearing before the Court.
The issues have been tried or heard and a decision has been rendered.
IT IS ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that after de novo review of a Report and
Recommendation 13 of Magistrate Judge H. Kenneth Schroeder, Jr., the Court
dismissed the Complaint of the Plaintiff, Jerome Barber, for reasons stated in the Report
and Recommendation, but also granted leave to Plaintiff Barber to seek to amend the
Complaint no later than February 17, 2017 to plead facts to state a Title VII claim for
race discrimination in employment. 21 Plaintiff Barber has neither filed a proposed
Amended Complaint, nor sought an extension of time to file an Amended Complaint.
Plaintiff Barber did supplement his objections to the Report and Recommendation by
arguing in a February 15, 2017 filing 23 that he did not consent to disposition of the
action by a Magistrate Judge under 28 U.S.C. § 636(c) and that the disposition of the
case therefore violated his due process rights. Because the case was not disposed of by
the Magistrate Judge under § 636(c), see Dkt. No. 9, and was decided by the District
Court, plaintiff Barber’s untimely objection to the Report and Recommendation is without
merit. This case is dismissed.

Date: February 28, 2017
