What changed
The District of Colorado, in the case of Michael David Price v. United Airlines, Inc., et al. (Docket No. 1:25-cv-00813), has adopted a magistrate judge's recommendation to grant the Union Defendants' and United Defendants' motions to dismiss. The court also denied the United Defendants' motions for sanctions without prejudice. This order signifies a procedural resolution of the claims brought forth in the lawsuit.
This ruling primarily impacts the parties involved in the litigation, specifically Michael David Price and the named defendants, United Airlines, Inc., and various union representatives. While the specific claims leading to the dismissal are not detailed in this excerpt, the outcome suggests that the plaintiff's case, as presented, did not meet the necessary legal threshold for proceeding. No immediate compliance actions are required for external entities, but legal professionals involved in similar employment disputes may note the procedural outcomes and the court's adherence to magistrate recommendations.

ORDER
Before the Court is the Recommendation, ECF No. 73, by United States Magistrate
Judge Timothy P. O’Hara issued on February 17, 2026, recommending that the Union
Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss, ECF No. 41, and the United Defendants’ Motion to
Dismiss, ECF No. 43, be GRANTED, and that the United Defendants’ Motions for
Sanctions, ECF No. 49, be DENIED WITHOUT PREJUDICE. For the following reasons,
the Court AFFIRMS and ADOPTS the Recommendation.
The parties were advised that they had fourteen days, after being served with a
copy of the Recommendation, to file written objections in order to obtain reconsideration
by the District Judge assigned to the case. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b). Neither party has
filed an objection to Magistrate Judge O’Hara’s Recommendation.
Under 28 U.S.C. § 636 (b)(1)(B), this Court may designate a magistrate judge to
consider dispositive motions and submit recommendations to the Court. When a
magistrate judge submits a recommendation, the Court must “determine de novo any part
of the magistrate judge’s [recommended] disposition that has been properly objected to.”
Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b)(3). A party’s failure to file such written objections may bar the party
from a de novo determination by the District Judge of the proposed findings and
recommendations. Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 150 (1985). When this occurs, the
Court is “accorded considerable discretion” and “may review a magistrate’s report under
any standard it deems appropriate.” Summers v. State of Utah, 927 F.2d 1165, 1167 (10th Cir. 1991) (citing Thomas, 474 U.S. at 150).
After reviewing all the relevant pleadings, the Court concludes that Magistrate
Judge O’Hara’s analyses were thorough and comprehensive, the Recommendation is
well-reasoned, and the Court finds no clear error on the face of the record. Accordingly,
the Court AFFIRMS and ADOPTS Magistrate Judge O’Hara’s Recommendation as an
order of this Court. See ECF No. 73. The Union Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss, ECF No.
41, is GRANTED. All claims against Defendant International Association of Machinists
and Aerospace Workers are DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE, and all claims against
the individual Union Defendants (Brian Bryant, Mike Klemm, and Willam Stef) are
DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE. The United Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss, ECF No. 43,
is GRANTED. All claims against the United Defendants (United Airlines, Inc., Lyssa Latu,
Paula Reppas, David Baudier, and Anastasia Hosack) are DISMISSED WITHOUT
PREJUDICE. The United Defendants’ Motions for Sanctions, ECF No. 49, is DENIED
WITHOUT PREJUDICE.
DATED this 12th day of March 2026.
BY TH ry,
Charlotte ¥Y-Sweeney
United S District Judge
