LEE ANN BELLE, Plaintiff, v. CONCENTRIX CORPORATION, Defendant.
Magistrate Judge David R. Grand ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION AND DENYING DEFENDANT'S MOTION TO DISMISS
Presently before the Court is the report issued on October 17, 2018 by Magistrate Judge David R. Grand pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b), recommending that the Court deny the defendant's motion to dismiss, after the magistrate judge separately granted the plaintiff's motion for leave to file an amended complaint. Although the report stated that the parties to this action could object to and seek review of the recommendation within fourteen days of service of the report, no objections have been filed thus far. The parties' failure to file objections to the report and recommendation waives any further right to appeal. Smith v. Detroit Fed'n of Teachers Local 231, 829 F.2d 1370, 1373 (6th Cir. 1987). Likewise, the failure to object to the magistrate judge's report releases the Court from its duty to independently review the matter. Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 149 (1985). However, the Court agrees with the findings and conclusions of the magistrate judge.
Accordingly, it is ORDERED that the report and recommendation (ECF No. 29) is ADOPTED, and the defendant's motion to dismiss (ECF No. 14) is DENIED.
