Magistrate Judge Barbara D. Holmes ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION AND DISMISSING DEFENDANT SUSIE TREMBLAY-BROWN
Presently before the Court is the report issued on January 3, 2020 by Magistrate Judge Barbara D. Holmes pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b), recommending that the Court dismiss defendant Susie Tremblay-Brown. Although the report stated that the parties to this action could object to and seek review of the recommendation within fourteen days of service of the report, no objections have been filed thus far. The parties' failure to file objections to the report and recommendation waives any further right to appeal. Smith v. Detroit Fed'n of Teachers Local 231, 829 F.2d 1370, 1373 (6th Cir. 1987). Likewise, the failure to object to the magistrate judge's report releases the Court from its duty to independently review the matter. Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 149 (1985). However, the Court agrees with the findings and conclusions of the magistrate judge.
Accordingly, it is ORDERED that the magistrate judge's report and recommendation (ECF No. 306) is ADOPTED.
It is further ORDERED that all claims against Susie Tremblay-Brown, only, are DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE.
