Opinion
11 Civ. 1206 (PAE).
Filed November 21, 2011.
OPINION AND ORDER
Pro se plaintiff Kyle Hendricks filed an amended complaint in this action on May 2, 2011. Plaintiff failed to serve a copy of the summons and amended complaint upon any defendants within 120 days of filing his amended complaint, as mandated by Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 4(m). Subsequent mailed communications to plaintiff were returned to sender, and plaintiff failed to supply the Court with a forwarding address. On May 26, 2011, Judge George B. Daniels, to whom this case was originally assigned, referred the case to Magistrate Judge Kevin Nathaniel Fox for general pretrial matters and for the resolution of dispositive motions. On October 28, 2011, Judge Fox issued a Report and Recommendation to this Court, recommending that the case be dismissed for failure to prosecute, or to comply with a court order, pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.P. 41(b). No timely written objections were filed.
DISCUSSION
In reviewing a Report and Recommendation, a district court "may accept, reject, or modifY, in whole or in part, the findings or recommendations made by the magistrate judge." 28 U.S.C. ¶ 636(b)(1)(C). When specific objections are made, "[t]he district judge must determine de novo any part ofthe magistrate judge's disposition that has been properly objected to." Fed.R.Civ.P. 72(b)(3). To accept those portions of the report to which no timely objection has been made, "a district court need only satisfy itself that there is no clear error on the face of the record." King v. Greiner, No. 02 Civ. 5810 (DLC), 2009 WL 2001439, at *4 (S.D.N.Y. July 8, 2009) (citation omitted).
CONCLUSION
Careful review of the Report reveals that there is no clear error in its conclusions. The Report, which is attached hereto and incorporated herein, is adopted without modification. This case is hereby DISMISSED without prejudice.
SO ORDERED.
