KAYLIN ERIC JOHNSON Plaintiff, v. LIEUTENANT BRYAN DUNN Defendant.
OPINION AND ORDER ADOPTING APRIL 16, 2024 REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION (ECF NO. 19)
LINDA V. PARKER U.S. DISTRICT JUDGE.
Pro se Plaintiff Kaylin Eric Johnson (“Plaintiff”) commenced this lawsuit against Defendant Lieutenant Bryan Dunn (“Defendant”) on January 30, 2023. (ECF No. 1.) On November 29, 2023, Defendant filed his motion for summary judgment (ECF No. 14). Plaintiff filed a timely response. (ECF No. 16.) The matter has been assigned to Magistrate Judge Curtis Ivy, Jr. for all pretrial proceedings, including a hearing and determination of all non-dispositive matters pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(A) and/or a report and recommendation on all dispositive matters pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B). (ECF No. 10.)
On April 16, 2024, Magistrate Judge Ivy issued a report and recommendation (“R&R”) recommending that the Court grant Defendant's motion for summary judgment. (ECF No. 19 at PageID. 202.) At the conclusion of his R&R, Magistrate Judge Ivy advises the parties that they may object to and seek review of the R&R within fourteen days of service upon them. He specifically advises the parties that “[f]ailure to file specific objections constitutes a waiver of any further right to appeal.” (Id. (alteration added).) Neither party filed objections to the R&R.
The Court has carefully reviewed the R&R and concurs with the conclusions reached by Magistrate Judge Ivy. The Court therefore adopts the R&R.
Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that Defendant's motion for summary judgment is GRANTED.
I hereby certify that a copy of the foregoing document was mailed to counsel of record and/or pro se parties on this date, June 14, 2024, by electronic and/or U.S. First Class mail.
