YANG ZHANG, Plaintiff, v. NICOLE CLEVENGER, et al., Defendants.


ORDER ADOPTING THE MAGISTRATE JUDGE'S REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION

Before the Court is the report and recommendation of United States Magistrate Judge Kenneth S. McHargh. The Magistrate Judge recommends that (1) defendant Clevenger's motion for leave to file an answer be denied as moot; (2) entry of default be vacated and set aside as to defendant Clevenger; (3) the motion for default judgment against defendant Clevenger be denied; and (4) the motion for default judgment be granted as to defendant Byers.

Because no timely objections to the R&R have been filed pursuant to Local Rule 72.3, the R&R is adopted in its entirety by this Court. It is therefore ordered that (1) defendant Clevenger's motion for leave to file an answer (doc. 34) is denied as moot; (2) entry of default (doc. 33) is vacated and set aside as to defendant Clevenger; (3) the motion for default judgment (doc. 32) against defendant Clevenger is denied; and (4) the motion for default judgment (doc. 32) is granted as to defendant Byers.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
