MEMORANDUM DECISION AND ORDER

:

Pro se Plaintiff Shannette M. McFarlane brings this Section 1983 action against the City of New York, employees of the New York City Police Department ("NYPD"), and employees of the New York City Administration for Children's Services ("ACS"). Plaintiff alleges that Defendants wrongfully removed her children from her home without due process. (See First Am. Compl. at 4-6, ECF No. 19.) On March 17, 2014, Defendants John Marcantonio and Lamont Smith moved, pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(6), to dismiss the Complaint for failure to state a claim, and moved for judgment on the pleadings pursuant to Rule 12(c). (See ECF No. 53.) To date, Plaintiff has not responded to this motion, despite multiple court orders that she do so. Before this Court is Magistrate Judge Gorenstein's July 2, 2014 Report and Recommendation ("Report") in which he recommended dismissal of the present action, pursuant to Rule 41(b), for Plaintiff's failure to prosecute her claims. (See ECF No. 60.) Magistrate Judge Gorenstein's Report is adopted in its entirety.

This Court may accept, reject, or modify, in whole or in part, the findings set forth in the Report. 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C). When there are objections to the Report, the Court must make a de novo determination of those portions of the Report to which objections are made. Id.; see also Rivera v. Barnhart, 423 F. Supp. 2d 271, 273 (S.D.N.Y. 2006). The district judge may also receive further evidence or recommit the matter to the magistrate judge with instructions. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b); 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C). The Court need not conduct a de novo hearing on the matter. See United States v. Raddatz, 447 U.S. 667, 675-76 (1980). Rather, it is sufficient that the Court "arrive at its own, independent conclusions" regarding those portions of the Report to which objections were made. Nelson v. Smith, 618 F. Supp. 1186, 1189-90 (S.D.N.Y. 1985) (quoting Hernandez v. Estelle, 711 F.2d 619, 620 (5th Cir. 1983)). When no objections to a Report are made, the Court may adopt the Report if "there is no clear error on the face of the record." Adee Motor Cars, LLC v. Amato, 388 F. Supp. 2d 250, 253 (S.D.N.Y. 2005) (citation omitted).

In his Report, Magistrate Judge Gorenstein advised the parties that pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1) and Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 72(b), failure to file timely objections within fourteen days after being served with a copy of the Report would result in waiver of those objections and preclude appellate review. (See Report at 4-5.) No party objected to the Report. As there is no clear error on the face of the record, this Court adopts the Report in its entirety.

Magistrate Judge Gorenstein correctly found that dismissal of this case is appropriate pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(b) for Plaintiff's failure to prosecute her claims. A district court may decide, sua sponte, to dismiss a pro se litigant's action for failure to prosecute "so long as a warning has been given that non-compliance can result in dismissal." Agiwal v. Mid Island Mortg. Corp., 555 F. 3d 298, 302 (2d Cir. 2009) (quoting Valentine v. Museum of Modern Art, 29 F.3d 47, 50 (2d Cir. 1994)); see also Spencer v. Doe, 139 F.3d 107, 112 (2d Cir. 1998).

The Report found that Plaintiff had failed to provide proof of service on the individual defendants, did not respond to Defendants' motion to dismiss, ignored an April 17 order in which the Court had sua sponte extended her time to submit opposition papers (April 17, 2014 Order at 1, ECF No. 57), and disregarded a May 21 Order to Show Cause directing her to explain why her case should not be dismissed due to her failure to respond to Defendants' motion (May 21, 2014 Order at 1, ECF No. 59). (Report at 2-4.) Plaintiff was also instructed to inform the Court of her efforts to effect service on the individual defendants. (May 21 Order at 1.) In both the April 17 and May 21 Orders, Magistrate Judge Gorenstein warned Plaintiff that failure to comply with the Court's directives could result in dismissal of her case. (April 17 Order at 1 ("Plaintiff is warned that if she fails to oppose this motion, her case may be dismissed."); May 21 Order at 1 ("If [P]laintiff fails to respond by June 13, 2014, this case may be dismissed for failure to prosecute under Rule 41(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.").) Accordingly, it is clear that Plaintiff has received sufficient warning of the potential consequences of her inaction, and dismissal of this action is appropriate under Rule 41(b). See Agiwal, 555 F.3d at 302.

Conclusion

This action is hereby DISMISSED for failure to prosecute under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(b). The Clerk of the Court is directed to close this case. Dated: New York, New York

August 4, 2014

SO ORDERED.
