RAYCO SAUNDERS, Plaintiff, v. GFS ENTERTAINMENT GROUP, LLC, and DARRYL ROBINSON, Defendants.
Chief Magistrate Judge Cynthia Reed Eddy MEMORANDUM ORDER
This case has been referred to Chief United States Magistrate Judge Cynthia Reed Eddy for pretrial proceedings in accordance with the Magistrates Act, 28 U.S.C. §§ 636(b)(l)(A) and (B), and Local Rule of Civil Procedure 72.
On January 17, 2020, the Chief Magistrate Judge issued a Report (Doc. 64) recommending that Plaintiff's Requests for Default Judgment against GFS Entertainment Group, LLC ("GFS), and James Smith, (Doc. 62) and Darryl Robinson2 (Doc. 49) be granted only with respect to GFS and in the amount of $5,001 and otherwise denied. Service of the Report and Recommendation ("R&R") was made on the parties, and Plaintiff has filed Objections. See Doc. 65.
As all claims against Mr. Smith were dismissed due to lack of service (see Doc. 46), Mr. Smith is no longer a defendant in this case.
After a de novo review of the pleadings and documents in the case, together with the Report and Recommendation and the Objections thereto, the following Order is entered:
Plaintiff's Request for Default Judgment against GFS and James Smith (Doc. 62) is GRANTED only with respect to GFS and for the amount of $5,001 and otherwise denied; Plaintiff's Request for Default Judgment against Darryl Robinson (Doc. 49) is DENIED; and the R&R is adopted as the Opinion of the District Court.
To the extent Defendant has specific costs related to bringing this action against GFS, he is directed to 28 U.S.C. §1924. --------
IT IS SO ORDERED. June 18, 2020
