ORDER ADOPTING MAGISTRATE JUDGE'S REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
This matter was referred to United States Magistrate Anthony P. Patti pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §636(b)(1)(B) and Local Rule 72.1. In his report filed on May 31, 2019, the magistrate judge recommended that this court deny Defendant's Sholtz, McCormick and Bush's [Doc #34] Motion for Summary Judgment and dismiss the John Doe Defendants without prejudice. No objections have been filed pursuant to 28 U.S.C.§ 636(b)(1)(C), thus further appeal rights are waived.
The failure to object to the magistrate judge's report releases the court from its duty to independently review the motion. Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 149 (1985). --------
Having reviewed the file and the report, the court concludes that the findings and conclusions of the magistrate judge are correct and ADOPTS the same for purposes of this Order.
Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that, for the reasons set forth in the Magistrate Judge's Report and Recommendation, Defendants Motion for Summary Judgment [Dkt #34] is DENIED and the John Doe Defendants are DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE.
