Background

Plaintiff Lakisha Green moved for a temporary restraining order. The district court had referred the matter to a U.S. magistrate judge under 28 U.S.C. § 636.

On July 30, 2026, the magistrate judge issued proposed findings of fact and recommended denying the motion. Green filed objections to that report and recommendation.

The Court’s Holding

The district court conducted a de novo review of Green’s objections and the portions of the report to which she specifically objected.

The court concluded that the magistrate judge’s findings and conclusions were correct and that Green’s objections lacked merit as to the magistrate judge’s ultimate findings. It adopted the report’s findings and conclusions and denied Green’s motion for a temporary restraining order.

Key Takeaways

  • The court reviewed de novo the portions of the magistrate judge’s report challenged by specific objections.
  • The court adopted the magistrate judge’s findings and conclusions.
  • Green’s motion for a temporary restraining order was denied.

Why It Matters

The ruling leaves Green without the emergency injunctive relief she requested. The one-page memorandum does not describe the underlying dispute or provide additional reasoning beyond adopting the magistrate judge’s findings and conclusions.
