(Doc. 47); see Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(1) (“lack of subject-matter jurisdiction”); Fed R. Civ. P. 12(b)(6) (“failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted”). The United States Magistrate Judge made findings, conclusions, and a recommendation in this case. Plaintiffs requested an extension of time to file objections. (Doc. 62). However, Plaintiff, thereafter, timely filed objections to the United States Magistrate Judge’s findings, conclusions, and recommendation on September 6, 2022. As such, Plaintiff’s requested extension, (Doc. 62), is DENIED as moot. The District Court reviewed de novo those portions of the proposed findings, conclusions, and recommendation to which objection was made, and reviewed the remaining proposed findings, conclusions, and recommendation for plain error. Finding no error, the Court ACCEPTS the Findings, Conclusions, and Recommendation of the United States Magistrate Judge. The Court therefore (i) DENIES Vertafore’s motion to dismiss under Rule 12(b)(1) but (ii) GRANTS ORDER ACCEPTING FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS, AND RECOMMENDATION OF THE UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE Page 1 of 2 Dockets.Justia.com Vertafore’s motion to dismiss under Rule 12(b)(6). The Court shall dismiss Plaintiff’s claims with prejudice by separate judgment. Consequently, the Court DENIES as moot Plaintiff’s Motion for Class Certification, (Doc. 23). See Conditt v. Owens, 457 F. App’x 420, 422 (5th Cir. 2012) (“we also note that the dismissal of Conditt's complaint on its merits mooted any request for class certification. As a result, we also deny his motions on appeal for class-action certification and appointment of class-action counsel.”). SO ORDERED. 7th day of February, 2023. ___________________________________ ADA BROWN UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE ORDER ACCEPTING FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS, AND RECOMMENDATION OF THE UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE Page 2 of 2
