Case Number 12-10865

BRUCE J HALL, Plaintiff, v. 71-A DISTRICT COURT and LAURA BARNARD, Defendants.
Honorable David M. Lawson
Magistrate Judge David R. Grand
ORDER ADOPTING MAGISTRATE JUDGE'S REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
AND DISMISSING PLAINTIFF'S COMPLAINT
Presently before the Court is the report issued on March 15, 2012 by Magistrate Judge David R. Grand pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b), recommending that this Court dismiss the plaintiff's complaint sua sponte. Although the magistrate judge's report explicitly stated that the parties to this action may object to and seek review of the recommendation within fourteen days of service of the report, no objections have been filed thus far. The parties' failure to file objections to the report and recommendation waives any further right to appeal. Smith v. Detroit Fed'n of Teachers Local 231, 829 F.2d 1370, 1373 (6th Cir. 1987). Likewise, the failure to object to the magistrate judge's report releases the Court from its duty to independently review the matter. Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 149 (1985). However, the Court agrees with the findings and conclusions of the magistrate judge.
Accordingly, it is ORDERED that the Magistrate Judge's Report and Recommendation [dkt. #23] is ADOPTED.
It is further ORDERED that the plaintiff's complaint is DISMISSED.
