QUINTARRE L. WILKINS, et al., Plaintiffs. v. ATTORNEY KEVAL PATEL LAW FIRM, et al., Defendants.
ORDER ADOPTING MAGISTRATE JUDGE'S MEMORANDUM AND RECOMMENDATION
JEFFREY VINCENT BROWN UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
On May 23, 2023, all pretrial matters in this case were referred to United States Magistrate Judge Andrew M. Edison under 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(A)-(B). Dkt. 42. Judge Edison filed a memorandum and recommendation on November 3, 2023, recommending that motions to dismiss filed by (1) the Keval Patel Law Firm (“Patel”) and American Pointe Realty, Ltd. (“APR”) (Dkt. 78); (2) PennyMac Loan Services, LLC (“Pennymac”) (Dkt. 87); and Locke Lord LLP and Kurt Krolikowski (“Krolikowski”) (collectively, “Locke Lord”) (Dkt. 88) be granted. See Dkt. 89. Judge Edison also recommended that the court sua sponte dismiss Plaintiffs' claims against Julian Perez; Summit Realty; Cameron Namazi; Sam Doray Real Estate, LLC; Raul Gonzalez; Capital Title Co.; Stephen Buttram; John Powell; Sergio Perez; and Ryan Erickson (the “Remaining Defendants”). See id.
No objections have been filed to the memorandum and recommendation. Accordingly, the court reviews it for plain error on the face of the record. 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1); FED. R. CIV. P. 72(B)(3).
Based on the pleadings, the record, and the applicable law, the court finds that there is no plain error apparent from the face of the record. Accordingly:
(1) Judge Edison's memorandum and recommendation (Dkt. 89) is approved and adopted in its entirety as the holding of the court; and
(2) The motions to dismiss filed by Patel and APR (Dkt. 78), Pennymac (Dkt. 87), and Locke Lord (Dkt. 88) are granted; and
(3) The court sua sponte dismisses Plaintiffs' claims against the Remaining Defendants. A final judgment will issue separately.
