Opinion
Case Number: 09-10886.
March 31, 2010
I.
This is an employment discrimination case. Plaintiff is proceeding pro se. The matter has been referred to a magistrate judge for all pre-trial proceedings. Plaintiff has sued the University of Michigan and several individuals, who are employees of the University of Michigan, making various claims of discrimination. Defendants filed a motion to dismiss or for summary judgment on several grounds. The magistrate judge, in a comprehensive report and recommendation (MJRR), recommends that the motion be granted in part and denied in part and that plaintiff be directed to file an amended complaint consistent with the MJRR.
II.
Neither party has filed objections to the MJRR and the time for filing objections has passed. The failure to file objections to the report and recommendation waives any further right to appeal. Smith v. Detroit Federation 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 motions. Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 149 (1985). However, the Court has reviewed the MJRR and agrees with the magistrate judge.III.
Accordingly, the findings and conclusions of the magistrate judge are ADOPTED as the findings and conclusions of the Court. Defendants' motion to dismiss or for summary judgment is GRANTED IN PART AND DENIED IN PART.
Plaintiff shall file an amended complaint by April 30, 2010 consistent with the MJRR.
SO ORDERED.
