ORDER ADOPTING REPORT 
AND RECOMMENDATION 
 
 
This matter is before the Court on the Report and Recommendation (“R&R”) of 
Magistrate Judge John F. Docherty dated May 8, 2026.  (Doc. No. 17.)  No objections 
have been filed during the time permitted under Local Rule 72.2(b)(1).  When no 
CASE 0:26-cv-00323-DWF-JFD     Doc. 18     Filed 06/08/26     Page 1 of 2

objections are filed, a district court need only review the R&R for clear error.  See 
Grinder v. Gammon, 73 F.3d 793, 795 (8th Cir. 1996); Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b) advisory 
committee’s note to 1983 amendment, subdiv. b. 
The factual background for this matter is clearly and precisely set forth in the 
R&R and is incorporated by reference.  The Magistrate Judge recommended dismissing 
the complaint without prejudice, denying Plaintiff’s motion for temporary restraining 
order as moot, and denying her motions for protective order and to seal the court record.  
After a careful review of the R&R and the record, the Court finds no clear error.   
Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that: 
1. Magistrate Judge John  F. Docherty’s Report and Recommendation dated 
May 8, 2026 (Doc. No. [17]) is ADOPTED. 
2. Plaintiff’s complaint (Doc. No. [1]) is DISMISSED WITHOUT 
PREJUDICE. 
3. Plaintiff’s motion for prot ective order (Doc. No. [4]) is DENIED. 
4. Plaintiff’s motion to seal court record (Doc. No. [6]) is DENIED. 
5. Plaintiff’s motion for temporary restraining order (Doc. No. [8]) is 
DENIED AS MOOT. 
 LET JUDGMENT BE ENTERED ACCORDINGLY.
