TERRY L. MCDANIEL, Plaintiff, v. COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL SECURITY, Defendant.
Anthony P. Patti United States Magistrate Judge
ORDER ADOPTING THE MAGISTRATE'S REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION (ECF NO. 26) AND DENYING AS MOOT DEFENDANT'S MOTION TO DISMISS FOR FAILURE TO PROSECUTE (ECF NO. 16)
Before the Court is Magistrate Judge Anthony P. Patti's August 23, 2016 Report and Recommendation regarding Defendant's Motion to Dismiss for Failure to Prosecute. (Report and Recommendation, ECF No. 26.) As set forth in the Report and Recommendation, the Magistrate Judge recommends that this Court deny as moot Defendant's Motion to Dismiss based on the subsequent filings in this matter which include the appearance of counsel on Plaintiff's behalf, a request for an extension of time, and the fact Plaintiff has since filed a motion for summary judgment.
Having reviewed the Report and Recommendation, and there being no timely objections from either party under 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1) and E.D. Mich L.R. 72.1(d), the Court ADOPTS the Report and Recommendation (ECF No. 26) and DENIES AS MOOT Defendant's Motion to Dismiss for Failure to Prosecute (ECF No. 16).
IT IS SO ORDERED.
