Stephen Lee Horn, III, Plaintiff, v. Heidi Washington, et al., Defendants.
David R. Grand, Mag. Judge
ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION [63], AND DENYING PLAINTIFF'S REQUEST FOR A MEDIATION CONFERENCE [66] AS MOOT
JUDITH E. LEVY, United States District Judge
Before the Court is Magistrate Judge David R. Grand's Report and Recommendation (“R&R”) recommending the Court dismiss Plaintiff's complaint as to Defendant Danielle Gooding. (ECF No. 63.) The parties were required to file specific written objections, if any, within 14 days of service. Fed.R.Civ.P. 72(b)(2); E.D. Mich. L.R. 72.1(d). No objections were filed. The Court has nevertheless carefully reviewed the R&R and concurs in the reasoning and result.
The R&R indicates that Gooding is “identified on the docket as ‘Doctor of JCF [the G. Robert Cotton Correctional Facility in Jackson, Michigan].'” (ECF No. 63, PageID.400 (alteration in original).)
By failing to object to the Report and Recommendation, the parties have forfeited any further right of appeal. United States v. Wandahsega, 924 F.3d 868, 878 (6th Cir. 2019); see also Berkshire v. Beauvais, 928 F.3d 520, 530 (6th Cir. 2019).
Accordingly, the Report and Recommendation (ECF No. 63) is ADOPTED. Defendant Danielle Gooding (“Doctor of JCF”) is DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE.
Because the only remaining Defendants in this case are John and Jane Doe, Plaintiff's request for a mediation conference (ECF No. 66) is DENIED as MOOT.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
