Gilbert C. Pilet, LLC v. JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.

Summary

The United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida adopted and affirmed a magistrate judge’s Report and Recommendation recommending dismissal of the complaint for failure to comply with court orders. The action was dismissed without prejudice, pending motions were denied as moot, and the case was closed.

Questions Presented

1. What standard of review applies when no party objects to a magistrate judge's report and recommendation?
