Opinion
Civil Case No. 11-cv-01849-REB-CBS
01-06-2012
SHANTUNG C. BOYD, Plaintiff, v. UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD, and IAMAW - INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF MACHINISTS AND AEROSPACE WORKERS, Defendants.
Judge Robert E. Blackburn
ORDER ADOPTING RECOMMENDATION OF THE
UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
Blackburn , J.
The matter before me is the Recommendation of United States Magistrate
Judge [#4] filed December 13, 2011. No objections having been filed to the recommendation, I review it only for plain error. See Morales-Fernandez v. Immigration & Naturalization Service, 418 F.3d 1116, 1122 (10th Cir. 2005). Finding no such error in the recommended disposition, I find and conclude that the recommendation should be approved and adopted.
"[#4]" is an example of the convention I use to identify the docket number assigned to a specific paper by the court's electronic case filing and management system (CM/ECF). I use this convention throughout this order.
This standard pertains even though plaintiff is proceeding pro se in this matter. Morales-Fernandez, 418 F.3d at 1122. In addition, because plaintiff is proceeding pro se, I have construed her pleadings more liberally and held them to a less stringent standard than formal pleadings drafted by lawyers. See Erickson v. Pardus, 551 U.S. 89, 94, 127 S. Ct. 2197, 2200, 167 L.Ed.2d 1081 (2007); Andrews v. Heaton, 483 F.3d 1070, 1076 (10th Cir. 2007); Hall v. Bellmon, 935 F.2d 1106, 1110 (10th Cir. 1991) (citing Haines v. Kerner, 404 U.S. 519, 520-21, 92 S.Ct. 594, 595-96, 30 L.Ed.2d 652 (1972)).
--------
THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED as follows:
1. That the Recommendation of United States Magistrate Judge [#4] filed December 13, 2011, is APPROVED AND ADOPTED as an order of this court; and
2. That this case is DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE for failure to effectuate timely service, failure to prosecute, failure to comply with the Local Rules of the United States District Court for the District of Colorado - Civil and the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, and failure to comply with the duly issued orders of the court.
Dated January 6, 2012, at Denver, Colorado.
BY THE COURT:
