HON. MARX A. GOLDSMITH
ORDER ACCEPTING AND ADOPTING THE MAGISTRATE JUDGE'S REPORT
AND RECOMMENDATION DATED NOVEMBER 4, 2011 and STRIKING NEWLY
ADDED DEFENDANTS FROM PLAINITFF'S THIRD AMENDED COMPLAINT
This matter is presently before the Court on the Report and Recommendation (''R&R") of Magistrate Judge Laurie J. Michelson, issued on November 4, 2011. The Magistrate Judge recommends that Terri Hockenhull, R. Staplitonba, and Jane Doe (an unknown mailroom employee) be stricken as party defendants from Plaintiff's third amended complaint. Plaintiff has not objected to the R&R and the time to do so has expired. After review, the Court agrees with the Magistrate Judge that Plaintiff has improperly attempted to name these individuals as party defendants. Accordingly, the Magistrate Judge's R&R of November 4, 2011 is accepted and adopted as the findings and conclusions of the Court, and the above-named purported defendants are stricken from the third amended complaint.
SO ORDERED. Dated: December 14, 2011
Flint, Michigan
