Reported / Citable
Background
Miranda Denise Rose sued the Plano Police Department and other defendants in the Eastern District of Texas. Rose filed an emergency motion seeking a temporary restraining order.
The matter was referred to a United States magistrate judge under 28 U.S.C. § 636. On July 29, 2026, the magistrate judge recommended denying Rose’s motion. No party objected to that recommendation.
The Court’s Holding
District Judge Sean D. Jordan adopted the magistrate judge’s report and recommendation in full. The court concluded that the magistrate judge’s findings and conclusions were correct after reviewing the report and relevant filings.
The court therefore denied Rose’s emergency motion for a temporary restraining order. The memorandum did not set out the underlying facts or independently explain the reasons for denying emergency relief.
Key Takeaways
- The district court adopted an unopposed magistrate judge recommendation.
- Rose’s emergency request for a temporary restraining order was denied.
- The order resolves the TRO motion, not the merits of Rose’s underlying claims.
Why It Matters
The decision illustrates the procedural effect of an unopposed report and recommendation: after review, the district court may adopt it as its own findings and conclusions. The order leaves the underlying civil action pending unless resolved by a later ruling.
