Arthur J. Tarnow, Senior United States District Judge
On July 16, 2021, Plaintiff moved to voluntarily dismiss its claims against Defendants Nadia and Stamatios Vlahos (“the Vlahoses”) without prejudice. (ECF No. 78). The Vlahoses responded in opposition on July 27, 2021, arguing the Court should either condition voluntary dismissal without prejudice on Plaintiff's payment of their defense costs, or dismiss Plaintiff's claims with prejudice. (ECF No. 80, PageID.1231). Plaintiff replied on August 3, 2021. (ECF No. 83).
On August 4, 2021, the Court referred Plainitff's Motion [78] to the Magistrate Judge. (ECF No. 84). The Magistrate Judge held a hearing on September 21, 2021, and issued a Report and Recommendation (“R&R”) on November 22, 2021, recommending that Plaintiff's Motion [78] be granted. (ECF No. 94). No objections were filed within the fourteen-day period for filing objections.
The Court having reviewed the record, the R&R [94] is hereby ADOPTED and entered as the findings and conclusions of the Court.
Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that Plaintiff's Motion to Voluntarily Dismiss Claims Against Nadia and Stamatios Vlahos without Prejudice [78] is GRANTED.
SO ORDERED.
