ORDER DENYING AS MOOT PLAINTIFF'S OBJECTIONS
TO MAGISTRATE'S REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
Blackburn, J.
The matter before me is Plaintiff's Objections to Magistrate's Report & Recommendation [#206], filed March 4, 2013. These objections pertain to the magistrate judge's recommendation that defendants' motions to dismiss ([#97], filed June 18, 2012, and[#169], filed October 2, 2012, be granted in part and denied in part, and accordingly that various of plaintiff's claims be dismissed. (See Recommendation of United States Magistrate Judge [#194], filed February 11, 2013.)
"[#206]" is an example of the convention I use to identify the docket number assigned to a specific paper by the court's case management and electronic case filing system (CM/ECF). I use this convention throughout this order.
However, shortly after the recommendation was issued, plaintiff filed a notice of voluntary dismissal of his claims (see Plaintiff's Motion To Dismiss This Action [#198], filed February 14, 2013), which this court accepted and approved (see Order of Dismissal [#203], filed February 22, 2013). As stated in the order, any then-pending motion was denied as moot ( id. ¶ 2 at 2), which would include the underlying motions to dismiss on which the recommendation was based. Accordingly, plaintiff's objections are moot and will be overruled on that basis.
THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that the objections stated in Plaintiff's Objections to Magistrate's Report & Recommendation [#206], filed March 4, 2013, are OVERRULED AS MOOT.
Dated March 27, 2013, at Denver, Colorado.
BY THE COURT:
