JASON SIGMON, Plaintiff, v. JERRY CLAYTON, Defendant.
HON. MONA K. MAJZOUB ORDER ACCEPTING AND ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION (DKT. 15) , GRANTING DEFENDANT'S MOTION TO DISMISS (DKT. 11) AND DISMISSING CASE
This matter is before the Court on Magistrate Judge Mona K. Majzoub's November 21, 2016 report and recommendation (Dkt. 15), recommending that Defendant's motion to dismiss (Dkt. 11) be granted, and that this case be dismissed in its entirety.
The Court has carefully reviewed the Magistrate Judge's report and recommendation, and finds that it is well-reasoned and supported by the relevant law. The law provides that either party may serve and file written objections "[w]ithin fourteen days after being served with a copy" of the report and recommendations. 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1). As of this date, no party filed any objections to the report and recommendation, and the time to do so has now expired.
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 will, therefore, accept the Magistrate Judge's report and recommendation of November 21, 2016, 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 November 21, 2016 (Dkt. 15) is ACCEPTED and ADOPTED. It is FURTHER ORDERED that Defendant's motion to dismiss (Dkt. 11) is GRANTED. This case is hereby DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE.
SO ORDERED. Dated: December 29, 2016
