DECISION AND ORDER
GLENN T. SUDDABY, Chief United States District Judge
Currently before the Court, in this pro se civil rights action filed by Aminata Duncanson (“Plaintiff”) against Kaizer Developers, LLC (d/b/a Comfort Suites) (“Kaizer”) and four of its employees (“Defendants”), is United States Magistrate Judge Miroslav Lovric's ReportRecommendation recommending that Plaintiff's Title VII hostile work environment claim against Defendant Kaizer survive the Court's sua sponte review but that Plaintiff's Title VII claims against the four individual Defendants be sua sponte dismissed with prejudice, and that Plaintiff's Title VII quid pro quo harassment claim against Defendant Kaizer be sua sponte dismissed with leave to amend. (Dkt. No. 5.)
Plaintiff has not filed an Objection to the Report-Recommendation, and the deadline by which to do so has expired. (See generally Docket Sheet.) After carefully reviewing the relevant papers herein, including Magistrate Judge Lovric's thorough Report-Recommendation, the Court can find no clear error in the Report-Recommendation: Magistrate Judge Lovric employed the proper standards, accurately recited the facts, and reasonably applied the law to those facts. As a result, the Report-Recommendation is accepted and adopted in its entirety for the reasons set forth therein.
When no objection is made to a report-recommendation, the Court subjects that report-recommendation to only a clear-error review. Fed.R.Civ.P. 72(b), Advisory Committee Notes: 1983 Addition. When performing such a clear-error review, “the court need only satisfy itself that there is no clear error on the face of the record in order to accept the recommendation.” Id.; see also Batista v. Walker, 94-CV-2826, 1995 WL 453299, at *1 (S.D.N.Y. July 31, 1995) (Sotomayor, J.) (“I am permitted to adopt those sections of [a magistrate judge's] report to which no specific objection is made, so long as those sections are not facially erroneous.”) (internal quotation marks omitted).
ACCORDINGLY, it is
ORDERED that Magistrate Judge Lovric's Report-Recommendation (Dkt. No.5) is
ACCEPTED and ADOPTED in its entirety; and it is further
ORDERED that Plaintiff's Title VII claims against Defendants Gajjer, Sharna, Dedauia, and Patel are DISMISSED with prejudice and without prior leave to amend for failure to state a claim pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B); and it is further
ORDERED that Plaintiff's Title VII quid pro quo harassment claim against Defendant Kaizer Developers LLC (d/b/a Comfort Suites) is DISMISSED without prejudice, and with leave to amend within THIRTY (30) DAYS of the service of Plaintiff's Complaint on that Defendant, for failure to state a claim pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B); and it is further
The Court notes that, after the above-referenced thirty (30) day period, Plaintiff may amend this claim only during the pendency of this action and upon meeting the requirements of Fed.R.Civ.P. 15(a)(2) and Local Rule 15.1(a).
ORDERED that Plaintiff's Title VII hostile work environment claim against Defendant Kaizer Developers LLC (d/b/a Comfort Suites) SURVIVES the Court's sua sponte review; and it is further
ORDERED that the Clerk of Court is directed to issue a Summons, along with a copy of the Complaint, to the U.S. Marshal for service upon Defendant Kaizer Developers LLC (d/b/a Comfort Suites), which is directed to respond in accordance with the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.
