Case No. 04-CV-71704 (E.D. Mich. Feb. 25, 2008)

Opinion

Case No. 04-CV-71704.

February 25, 2008

ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION

DENISE HOOD, District Judge

Before the Court is Magistrate Judge Steven D. Pepe's Report and Recommendation ("R R") [Docket # 29], which recommends that Plaintiff's Motion for Relief from Judgment [Docket # 26] be denied. Plaintiff did not file objections to the R R.

If a party objects to specific portions of the R R, a district court should "make a de novo determination of those portions." 28 U.S.C. § 636. If an R R is not objected to, a district court need not review it by any standard. See 28 U.S.C. § 636; see also Lardie v. Birkett, 221 F. Supp. 2d 806, 807 (E.D. Mich. 2002). A district court "may accept, reject or modify, in whole or in part, the findings or recommendations made by the magistrate." 28 U.S.C. § 636(B)(1).

The Court has reviewed the R R and agrees with its reasoning and conclusions of law.

In light of the foregoing,

IT IS ORDERED that the R R of Magistrate Judge Steven D. Pepe is ACCEPTED and ADOPTED as this Court's findings and conclusions of law with respect to Plaintiff's Motion for Relief from Judgment [Docket # 26].

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Plaintiff's Motion for Relief from Judgment [Docket # 26] is DENIED.
