JAMES M. BOONE, ESQ., Plaintiff, v. SAM PATEL, Defendant.
(VARLAN/GUYTON)
ORDER
This civil matter is before the Court on the Report and Recommendation (the "R&R") entered by United States Magistrate Judge H. Bruce Guyton on March 7, 2013 [Doc. 20]. In the R&R, Magistrate Judge Guyton recommended that the Court grant defendant's motions for sanctions [Doc. 13] and dismiss plaintiff's complaint without prejudice pursuant to Rule 37 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. There have been no timely objections to the R&R, and enough time has passed since the filing of the R&R to treat any objections as having been waived. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1); Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b).
After a careful review of the matter, the Court is in agreement with Magistrate Judge Guyton's recommendations, which the Court adopts and incorporates into its ruling. Accordingly, the Court ACCEPTS IN WHOLE the R&R [Doc. 20], defendant's motion for sanctions [Doc. 13] is GRANTED, and plaintiff's claims against defendant are hereby DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE. The Clerk of Court is directed to CLOSE this case.
IT IS SO ORDERED.

CHIEF UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
