ANTHONY LYNCH-BEY, Plaintiff, v. TONY CORSI, Defendant.
Honorable David M. Lawson
ORDER ADOPTING MAGISTRATE JUDGE'S REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
DENYING PLAINTIFF'S MOTION FOR DEFAULT JUDGMENT AND
SETTING ASIDE CLERK'S ENTRY OF DEFAULT
Presently before the Court is a report issued on July 18, 2012 by Magistrate Judge Mark A. Randon pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b) recommending that this Court deny the plaintiff's motion for default judgment and set aside the clerk's entry of default. 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. #28] is ADOPTED.
It is further ORDERED that the plaintiff's motion for default judgment [dkt. #24] is DENIED.
It is further ORDERED that the clerk's entry of default [dkt. #23] is SET ASIDE.
