Opinion
11 Civ. 2487(BSJ)(HBP)

RAYMOND LEWIS, Plaintiff, v. CLARK'S TOWN POLICE DEPARTMENT, et al. Defendants.
Order
BARBARA S. JONES
UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
On February 15, 2012, Magistrate Judge Pitman issued a Report and Recommendation ("R&R"), recommending that this matter be transferred to the White Plains Courthouse, based on Rule 19 of this District's Rules for the Division of Business.
Magistrate Judge Pitman instructed both parties that failure to file objections within fourteen (14) days of the R&R would result in waiver of objections and preclude appellate review. Neither party filed written objections within that timeframe. Accordingly, both parties waived their objections and appellate review is precluded. See Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 155 (1985); see also IUE AFL-CIO Pension Fund v. Herrmann, 9 F.3d 1049, 1054 (2d Cir. 1993).
Upon review and consideration of the R&R, the Court finds it is neither "clearly erroneous" nor "contrary to law." See FED. R. CIV. P. 72. The Court, thus, adopts the R&R, and GRANTS, Defendants' motion to transfer this matter to the White Plains Courthouse. No appeal may be taken from this Order.
The Clerk of the Court is directed to terminate the motion (dkt 22) and close this case. SO ORDERED:
