August 25, 2020 Opinion or Order Filing 160 DECISION AND ORDER DENYING SECOND MOTION TO DISCLOSE ORDER 159 . Signed by Magistrate Judge Michael R. Merz on 8/25/2020. (kpf)(This document has been sent by regular mail to the party(ies) listed in the NEF that did not receive electronic notification.)
June 23, 2020 Opinion or Order Filing 154 ORDER adopting Report and Recommendation re 153 Report and Recommendation denying 149 Motion to Enjoin Defendants from Further Illegal Activity while on Appeal.

June 5, 2020 Opinion or Order Filing 153 REPORT AND RECOMMENDATIONS - Because this issue is at the heart of the pending appeal and is not an ancillary sanctions matter as Plaintiff asserts, this Court has no jurisdiction to entertain the Motion while the appeal is pending. On that basis, th e Motion 149 should be denied. Objections to R&R due by 6/19/2020. Signed by Magistrate Judge Michael R. Merz on 6/5/2020. (kpf)(This document has been sent by regular mail to the party(ies) listed in the NEF that did not receive electronic notification.)
March 31, 2020 Opinion or Order Filing 144 REPORT AND RECOMMENDATIONS ON MOTION FOR SANCTIONS- Judge Barrett entered final judgment in this case on March 29, 2019, and Plaintiff appealed (ECF Nos. 75 , 76 , 77 ). That appeal remains pending before the Sixth Circuit in its Case No. 19-3303. Absent a reversal and remand from the circuit court, this Courts judgment remains final. Plaintiff erroneously argues the dismissal was without prejudice (Motion, ECF No. 142 , PageID 2057). In fact, both Magistrate Judge Reports and Recommendation s adopted by Judge Barrett recommended dismissal with prejudice. But regardless of whether the judgment was with or without prejudice, it was a final judgment; otherwise Plaintiff would not have been entitled. AsPlaintiff has been repeatedly told, so long as the appeal remains pending, this Court lacks jurisdiction to modify it. On that basis it is respectfully recommended that the Motion for Sanctions be denied. Objections to R&R due by 4/14/2020. Signed by Magistrate Judge Michael R. Merz on 3/31/2020. re 142 (kma)(This document has been sent by regular mail to the party(ies) listed in the NEF that did not receive electronic notification.)

June 28, 2019 Opinion or Order Filing 86 REPORT AND RECOMMENDATIONS ON MOTION FOR RELIEFFROM JUDGMENT - The Magistrate Judge respectfully recommends that the Court defer considering the motion pending disposition of the pending appeal because that may render the motion moot or at least r esolve some of the issues Plaintiff raises. Objections to R&R due by 7/12/2019. Signed by Magistrate Judge Michael R. Merz on 6/28/2019. (srb)(This document has been sent by regular mail to the party(ies) listed in the NEF that did not receive electronic notification.)
