Woodham v. NH State Hospital

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
DISTRICT OF NEW HAMPSHIRE
Grace Woodham
v.
NH State Hospital
Case No. 25-cv-478-LM-AJ
ORDER
No objection having been filed, I herewith approve the Report and
Recommendation of Magistrate Judge Andrea K. Johnstone dated February
23, 2026. Given the restrictions on plaintiff's power to initiate
lawsuits, as well as the co-guardians' failure to respond to the
court's prior order, the plaintiff's motion to amend (Doc. No. 3) is
denied and this case is dismissed. The clerk shall enter judgment and
close this case. “‘[O]nly those issues fairly raised by the objections
to the magistrate's report are subject to review in the district court
and those not preserved by such objection are precluded on appeal.’”
School Union No. 37 v. United Nat'l Ins. Co., 617 F.3d 554, 564 (1st
Cir. 2010) (quoting Keating v. Secretary of Health & Human Servs., 848
F.2d 271, 275 (1st Cir.1988)); see also United States v. Valencia-
Copete, 792 F.2d 4, 6 (1st Cir. 1986) (after proper notice, failure to
file a specific objection to magistrate's report will waive the right
to appeal).
