OPINION AND ORDER CITY OF PORTLAND, Defendant. MOSMAN,J., On December 21, 2018, Magistrate Judge Stacie F. Beckerman issued her Findings and Recommendation (F&R) [22], recommending that I GRANT in part and DENY AS MOOT in part Plaintiffs Motion to Strike [13]. Neither party filed objections to the F&R.
