ORDER
This matter comes before the Court following a Report-Recommendation filed on January 17, 2012, by the Honorable George H. Lowe, United States Magistrate Judge, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b) and L.R. 72.3(c) of the Northern District of New York. Report-Rec. (Dkt. No. 13).
On February 10, 2012, this case was reassigned to the Honorable Therese Wiley Dancks, United States Magistrate Judge, by Order of Chief Judge Gary L. Sharpe. Dkt. No. 14.
Within fourteen days after a party has been served with a copy of a magistrate judge's report-recommendation, the party "may serve and file specific, written objections to the proposed findings and recommendations," FED. R. CIV. P. 72(b), in compliance with L.R. 72.1(c). No objections have been raised in the allotted time with respect to Magistrate Judge Lowe's Report-Recommendation. Furthermore, after examining the record, the Court has determined that the Report-Recommendation is not subject to attack for plain error or manifest injustice.
Accordingly, it is hereby:
ORDERED, that the Report-Recommendation (Dkt. No. 13) is APPROVED and ADOPTED in its ENTIRETY; and it is further
ORDERED, that Defendant's Motion to dismiss for failure to state a claim (Dkt. No. 9) is GRANTED with leave to amend; and it is further
ORDERED, that the Clerk serve a copy of this Order on the parties.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
DATED: February 21, 2012
