Civil Action No. 16-1062

RAYCO SAUNDERS, Plaintiff, v. GFS ENTERTAINMENT GROUP, LLC, et al., Defendants.
Chief Magistrate Judge Cynthia Reed Eddy MEMORANDUM ORDER
This case has been referred to Chief United States Magistrate Judge Cynthia Reed Eddy for pretrial proceedings in accordance with the Magistrates Act, 28 U.S.C. §§ 636(b)(l)(A) and (B), and Local Rule of Civil Procedure 72.
On December 17, 2018, the Magistrate Judge issued a Report and Recommendation (Doc. 44) (the "Report"). The Report recommended that this action be dismissed against Defendants GFS Entertainment, LLC and James Smith, without prejudice, due to Plaintiff's failure to serve these Defendants, as required under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 4(m). Plaintiff timely filed Objections to the Report (Doc. 45) ("Objections").
The only specific objection to the Report contained in this document is Plaintiff's claim that "service has been properly effectuated on ALL defendants." Objections ¶ 16. However, the Court's review of the record reveals that the Magistrate Judge is correct and that Defendants GFS Entertainment, LLC and James Smith have not been served due to Plaintiff's failure to provide the Court with accurate addresses.
The Court has conducted a de novo review of the pleadings and documents in this case, including Plaintiff's Objections, together with the Report. Agreeing with the Report, the Court hereby adopts the Magistrate Judge's Report as the opinion of the District Court. Accordingly, this action is hereby DISMISSED, without prejudice, against Defendants GFS Entertainment, LLC and James Smith. IT IS SO ORDERED. January 15, 2019
