ORDER
The Recommendation of the United States Magistrate Judge was filed in
accordance with 28 U.S.C. § 636(b) and the Clerk served the Recommendation on the
plaintiff. The plaintiff filed objections to the Recommendation, Doc. 6, but nothing in
the objections undermines the Magistrate Judge’s analysis, which states only some of the
reasons the plaintiff’s complaint is subject to dismissal. In addition, there is no
constitutional right to a mediated settlement conference, and if the plaintiff thought the
state court hearing was unfair to her, she could have appealed.
To the extent the plaintiff seeks to add a new cause of action in her objections, the
motion is denied because the claim she seeks to raise would not withstand a motion to
dismiss.
In her objection, the plaintiff does not address the Magistrate Judge’s
Recommendation that her motion to seal be denied. The motion to seal will be denied.
After consideration of the objections and the record, the Court hereby adopts the
Magistrate Judge’s Recommendation in full.
