Serving Objections to a Magistrate Judge's Recommendations In the Southern District of Ohio?: I need to file my objections to the Magistrate's Recommendation on the 15th of May.

I am just about done writing my objections; however, I need to know how to serve the parties.

There are five Defendants and my question is this:

Can I mail the objections to each party, and if I do, does they have to receive the objections by the due date of May 15th, 2019?

Example. The objections are due to be filed on May 15th, 2019, but does that also mean that defendants need to receive the objections on that day as well or is it enough that I mail the objections on the day that I file the objections with the court?

Michael’s answer: If you do not have an order that all service of papers will be done via the court's electronic filing system, you need to serve the attorney(s) for the defendants by regular mail. No need for the objections to be in the hands of the attorneys by the 15th. If the defendants have no lawyers, serve each at the addresses you have by regular mail. You need to put a certificate of service at the bottom which states when and how you sent out the service.

Best if you get an order from the court regarding electronic filing. The Court has a manual on electronic filing that can guide you.

Michael’s answer: So sorry to read of your situation. The facts are sparse, so this answer is of necessity general. Legally, if the mother is (1) in a location in the US where she can be sued and (2) has a lot of money or property to her name, you can bring suit against her for money damages. Unfortunately, lawyers work for fees, and there could be substantial expenses in the case, so unless you have resources yourself, it is going to be difficult to have a lawyer take on the case even if (1) and (2) both apply.

Is it legal to be fired a week after point out: My fiancee was fired after work today for attendance. She had received her last point 8 days before. She was late to work after her car had stopped working on her way in. She went to the supervisor and asked if she was fired where she was told HR would revise her points and let her know. HR told her that her points were correct and he needed to speak with his before he proceeds and would give us an answer the following Monday. Monday HR stated the didn't have any answer for her. Then today she was fired 8 days after the original incident

Michael’s answer: Ohiois a right to work state, meaning the employer can fire for any reason or no reason, unless prohibited by law. Not enough information to respond here. If your wife was on FMLA leave at any time before firing, and for some reason was issued point or points for any of the period on FMLA, the termination violates the FMLA and she can sue for damages. Also, if she was given points during a period when she was off because of stress caused by harassment, she may be entitled to recover.
