“Plaintiff's Motion to Amend (Doc. 30) is granted, in part and denied, in part as follows: Plaintiff may supplement Counts One and Two of his First Amended Complaint only ... Plaintiff shall not be allowed to amend his First Amended Complaint with Counts Three, Four, or Five, and Counts Three, Four, and Five shall be dismissed”
“IT IS ORDERED adopting in whole the R&R (Doc. 13) submitted by Judge Boyle and denying and dismissing with prejudice the Petition for Declaratory Judgment pursuant to 2201(a) to 28 U.S.C. (Doc. 1).”
“That the Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 2254 (Doc. 1) is denied and dismissed with prejudice; That a certificate of appealability on appeal is denied”
In a consumer-reporting case assigned to Boyle without full party consent, General Order 21-25 required him to prepare an R&R for a designated district judge when he considered dismissal appropriate but lacked Section 636(c) jurisdiction. Boyle's August 19, 2024 R&R recommended sua sponte dismissal without prejudice. With no objections, the designated district judge adopted it and dismissed without prejudice on September 4, 2024; the adoption order did not state the underlying basis.
In a civil case assigned to Boyle without full consent, the plaintiff received leave to serve third-party subpoenas to identify an unknown defendant, served them, then made no further filings and ignored a show-cause order. Boyle's March 31, 2025 R&R recommended sua sponte dismissal without prejudice for failure to effect timely service under Rule 4(m) and failure to follow court orders. With no objections, the designated district judge adopted the recommendation and dismissed without prejudice on May 5, 2025.
