ABRAHAM HUGHES, Plaintiff, v. CITY OF WAYNE, et al., Defendants.
ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION [21] AND DENYING DEFENDANTS' MOTION FOR RULE 11 SANCTIONS [13]
STEPHEN J. MURPHY, III, United States District Judge
After the Court granted in part and denied in part the motion to dismiss, ECF 11, Defendants moved for sanctions under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11, ECF 13. The Court referred the motion to Magistrate Judge David R. Grand. ECF 14. Judge Grand held a motion hearing on May 9, 2022, ECF 20, and recommended both from the bench and in a report and recommendation that the motion be denied. ECF 21. Any objections were required to be filed no later than May 24, 2022. ECF 21, PgID 386.
De novo review of the magistrate judge's findings is required only if the parties “serve and file specific written objections to the proposed findings and recommendations.” Fed.R.Civ.P. 72(b)(2). Because no party filed objections, de novo review of the Report's conclusions is not required. After reviewing the record, the Court finds that the magistrate judge's conclusions are factually based and legally sound. Accordingly, the Court will adopt the Report's findings and deny Defendants' motion for Rule 11 sanctions.
WHEREFORE, it is hereby ORDERED that the magistrate judge's Report and Recommendation [21] is ADOPTED.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Defendants' motion for Rule 11 sanctions [13] is DENIED.
SO ORDERED.
I hereby certify that a copy of the foregoing document was served upon the parties and/or counsel of record on May 25, 2022, by electronic and/or ordinary mail.
