MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
Frederic Block Senior United States District Judge
On January 12, 2022, Magistrate Judge Vera M. Scanlon issued a Report and Recommendation (“R&R”) recommending that defendant D.F. Pray's motion for leave to file a third-party complaint against Maple Drake Austell Owner, LLC be denied. Magistrate Judge Scanlon's R&R stated that failure to object within fourteen days of the date of the R&R waives the right to appeal. No. objections were filed.
If clear notice has been given of the consequences of failing to object and there are no objections, the Court may adopt the R&R without de novo review. See Smith v. Campbell, 782 F.3d 93, 102 (2d Cir. 2015) (“Where parties receive clear notice of the consequences, failure to timely object to a magistrate's report and recommendation operates as a waiver of further judicial review of the magistrate's decision.”) (internal citations omitted). The Court will excuse the failure to object and conduct de novo review if it appears that the magistrate judge may have committed plain error. See Spence v. Superintendent, Great Meadow Corr. Facility, 219 F.3d 162, 174 (2d Cir. 2000). No. such error appears here.
Accordingly, the Court adopts the R&R without de novo review.
SO ORDERED.
