RYAN BROWN, Plaintiff, v. OAKLAND COUNTY JAIL, Defendant.
HON. R. STEVEN WHALEN ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION (DKT. 34)
This matter is before the Court on Magistrate Judge R. Steven Whalen's July 24, 2017 Report and Recommendation (Dkt. 34), recommending that Defendant's Motion for Summary Judgment (Dkt. 32) be GRANTED, and Plaintiff's complaint be DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE.
The Court has reviewed the Magistrate Judge's Report and Recommendation. The law provides that either party may serve and file written objections "[w]ithin fourteen days after being served with a copy" of a report and recommendation. 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1). The district court will make a "de novo determination of those portions of the report . . . to which objection is made." Id. Where, as here, neither party objects to the report, the district court is not obligated to independently review the record. See Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 149-52 (1985). The Court will therefore accept the Magistrate's Report and Recommendation of July 24, 2017 as this Court's findings of fact and conclusions of law.
Accordingly, it is hereby ORDERED that Magistrate Judge Whalen's Report and Recommendation of July 24, 2017 is ACCEPTED and ADOPTED. It is FURTHER ORDERED that Defendant's Motion for Summary Judgment is GRANTED, and Plaintiff's complaint is DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE.
SO ORDERED. Dated: August 18, 2017
