Shawn Clarke Spottswood, Plaintiff, v. Ramsey County MN, Ramsey County MN Child Protective Services, Anna Coyle, Mark Costello, Judge Lezlie Ott Marek, and Renee Michalow, Defendants.
ORDER
PAUL A. MAGNUSON, UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
This matter is before the Court on the Report and Recommendation (“R&R”) of United States Magistrate Judge Becky R. Thorson dated May 7, 2021. (Docket No. 4.) The R&R recommends that the Court dismiss Plaintiff Shawn Clarke Spottswood's Complaint for failure to prosecute. See Fed.R.Civ.P. 41(b).
According to statute, the Court must conduct a de novo review of any portion of the R&R to which specific objections are made. 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C); Fed.R.Civ.P. 72(b); D. Minn. L.R. 72.2(b). The Court has received no objections to the R&R and the time to do so has expired. See D. Minn. L.R. 72.2(b)(1) (providing that a party may file objections to a magistrate judge's recommendations within 14 days).
Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:
1. The R&R (Docket No. 4) is ADOPTED;
2. The action is DISMISSED without prejudice; and
3. The Application to Proceed in Forma Pauperis (Docket No. 2) is DENIED as moot.
LET JUDGMENT BE ENTERED ACCORDINGLY.
