BILAL MUHAMMAD, Plaintiff, v. J.S. WALTON, POTTS, B. BROWN, and HARKNESS, Defendants.
ORDER ACCEPTING AND ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION [27] AND GRANTING DEFENDANTS' MOTION TO DISMISS [15]
This matter comes before the Court on the Magistrate Judge's Report and Recommendation. (Dkt. 27.) The Magistrate Judge recommends granting Defendants' motion to dismiss. (Dkt. 15.) No party has filed objections. "[T]he failure to object to the magistrate judge's report[] releases the Court from its duty to independently review the matter." Hall v. Rawal, 09-10933, 2012 WL 3639070, at *1 (E.D. Mich. Aug. 24, 2012) (citing Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140 (1985)). Having reviewed the pleadings and the Report, however, the Court agrees with the findings and conclusions of the Magistrate Judge. The Court ACCEPTS and ADOPTS the Magistrate Judge's Report and Recommendation and GRANTS Defendants' motion to dismiss.
SO ORDERED.
