SALADIN J. GIPSON, Plaintiff, v. UNITED STATES STEEL CORPORATION and UNITED STEELWORKERS 6103 LOCAL CO., Defendants.
ORDER
JAMES T. MOODY, JUDGE
This court previously referred defendants' motion to impose the discovery sanction of dismissal (DE # 28) to Magistrate Judge John E. Martin for a report and recommendation. (DE # 31.) Magistrate Judge Martin recommended that the court impose other sanctions (DE # 32), and this court adopted that recommendation after the time for objections expired. (DE # 47.)
Plaintiff then asked Magistrate Judge Martin to reconsider his report and recommendation regarding sanctions. (DE # 87.) Magistrate Judge Martin promptly did so, and issued a new recommendation. (DE # 89.) No objections have been filed. Accordingly, the court adopts Magistrate Judge Martin's second recommendation (DE # 89) and modifies this court's own order regarding sanctions (DE # 47) in the following way: plaintiff is permitted to conduct discovery in accordance with the deadlines set forth by the court on May 30, 2024.
SO ORDERED.
