Before the Court is the Report and Recommendation filed September 13, 2024, by the

Counterclaim and to Strike Affirmative Defenses (ECF No. 12) be granted in part and denied in 

part. No party has filed objections to the Report and Recommendation, and the time to object has 

passed. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1). Therefore, the Court adopts the Report and Recommendation 

(ECF No. 17) in toto. Accordingly, Plaintiff Tamyra Montgomery’s Motion to Dismiss 

Counterclaim and to Strike Affirmative Defenses (ECF No. 12) is GRANTED IN PART and 

DENIED IN PART. Defendant Blackmon Oil Company Inc.’s counterclaim against Plaintiff 

Montgomery is DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE. Plaintiff Montgomery’s request that 

the Court strike Defendants’ affirmative defense of “setoff” is DENIED. 

IT IS SO ORDERED, this 10th day of October, 2024.
