Hon. Mona K. Majzoub ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
(DKT. 42)
This matter is before the Court on Magistrate Judge Mona K Majzoub's January 16, 2018 Report and Recommendation, Dkt. 42, recommending that the Court DENY Defendant's Motion for Dismissal and Costs (Dkt. 39).
The Court has reviewed the Magistrate Judge's Report and Recommendation. The law provides that either party may serve and file written objections "[w]ithin fourteen days after being served with a copy" of a report and recommendation. 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1). The district court will make a "de novo determination of those portions of the report . . . to which objection is made." Id. Where, as here, neither party objects to the report, the district court is not obligated to independently review the record. See Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 149-52 (1985). The Court has nevertheless reviewed the report and will accept its recommendation with the modification that two typographical errors referring to the "Missouri Department of Corrections", found on Pg. ID 236, lines 18-19; and on Pg. ID 237, line 11 will be corrected to state "Mississippi Department of Corrections." With those modifications, the Court will accept the Magistrate's Report and Recommendation of January 16, 2018 as this Court's findings of fact and conclusions of law.
Accordingly, it is hereby ORDERED that Magistrate Judge Majzoub's Report and Recommendation of January 16, 2018 is ACCEPTED and ADOPTED as MODIFIED.
SO ORDERED. Dated: March 20, 2018
