Reported / Citable
Background
Pro se plaintiff Patricia A. Collier brought this action against Roy Jorgensen Associates, Inc. The supplied opinion does not identify Collier’s underlying claims or describe the parties’ relationship.
The case was referred to a magistrate judge under 28 U.S.C. § 636. On June 26, 2026, the magistrate judge recommended granting the defendant’s motion for summary judgment and dismissing the case with prejudice. Collier objected, and the defendant responded to her objection.
The Court’s Holding
After conducting a de novo review of the report and recommendation, Collier’s objection, and the defendant’s response, the district court concluded that the magistrate judge’s findings and conclusions were correct. It adopted the report as the court’s own findings and conclusions.
The court granted Roy Jorgensen Associates, Inc.’s motion for summary judgment and dismissed Collier’s case with prejudice.
Key Takeaways
- The district court reviewed the challenged report and recommendation de novo.
- The court adopted the magistrate judge’s findings and conclusions.
- The defendant received summary judgment, and the action was dismissed with prejudice.
Why It Matters
The order ends Collier’s district-court case on the merits through summary judgment, with dismissal with prejudice. Because the brief opinion adopts the magistrate judge’s report without describing the underlying claims or substantive reasoning, any broader assessment would require reviewing that report.
