Case Number 17-12271

MAURICE TAYLOR, Plaintiff, v. CORIZON MEDICAL CORPORATION, and MICHIGAN DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS, Defendants.
Magistrate Judge Anthony P. Patti ORDER ADOPTING MAGISTRATE JUDGE'S REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION , GRANTING DEFENDANT'S MOTION TO DISMISS, AND DISMISSING COMPLAINT WITH PREJUDICE
Presently before the Court is the report issued on April 3, 2018 by Magistrate Judge Anthony P. Patti pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b), recommending that the Court grant defendant Michigan Department of Corrections's motion to dismiss. Although the report stated that the parties to this action could object to and seek review of the recommendation within fourteen days of service of the report, no objections have been filed thus far. The parties' failure to file objections to the report and recommendation waives any further right to appeal. Smith v. Detroit Fed'n of Teachers Local 231, 829 F.2d 1370, 1373 (6th Cir. 1987). Likewise, the failure to object to the magistrate judge's report releases the Court from its duty to independently review the matter. Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 149 (1985). However, the Court agrees with the findings and conclusions of the magistrate judge.
Accordingly, it is ORDERED that the magistrate judge's report and recommendation [dkt. #41] is ADOPTED.
It is further ORDERED that defendant Michigan Department of Corrections's motion to dismiss [dkt. #17] is GRANTED.
It is further ORDERED that the complaint is DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE as to defendant Michigan Department of Corrections ONLY.
