OPINION AND ORDER ACCEPTING AND ADOPTING THE MAGISTRATE JUDGE'S JANUARY 10, 2024 REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION (ECF No. 16)
F. KAY BEHM, UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE.
Currently before the Court is Magistrate Judge David R. Grand's January 10, 2024 Report and Recommendation on the parties' cross-motions for summary judgment. (ECF Nos. 10,14,16). Magistrate Judge Grand recommends denying Defendant's motion, granting Plaintiff's motion and remanding this case for further proceedings consistent with the Report and Recommendation. The Court is fully advised in the premises and has reviewed the record and the pleadings. Neither 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, 2012 WL 3639070 (E.D. Mich. Aug. 24, 2012) (citing Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140,149 (1985)). The Court nevertheless agrees with the Magistrate Judge's recommended disposition. Therefore, the Court ACCEPTS and ADOPTS the Magistrate Judge's Report and Recommendation (ECF No. 16) and REMANDS the case for further proceedings consistent with the Report and Order Recommendation and this Order.
SO ORDERED.
