ORDER ADOPTING AND AFFIRMING JANUARY 12, 2023, REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION OF UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
CHRISTINE M. ARGUELLO, Senior United States District Judge
This matter is before the Court on the January 12, 2023, Report and Recommendation of United States Magistrate Judge (Doc. # 193), wherein Magistrate Judge Michael E. Hegarty recommends that Third Party Defendant Tico's Roofing, Inc.'s Motion to Dismiss (Doc. # 176) be denied. The Recommendation is incorporated herein by reference. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B); Fed.R.Civ.P. 72(b). The Court affirms and adopts the Recommendation for the following reasons.
The Recommendation advised the parties that specific written objections were due within fourteen (14) days after being served with a copy of the Recommendation. (Doc. # 193 at 10 n.2.) Despite this advisement, no objection to Magistrate Judge Hegarty's Recommendation has been filed.
“[T]he district court is accorded considerable discretion with respect to the treatment of unchallenged magistrate reports. In the absence of timely objection, the district court may review a magistrate [judge's] report under any standard it deems appropriate.” Summers v. Utah, 927 F.2d 1165, 1167 (10th Cir. 1991) (citing Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 150 (1985) (stating that “[i]t does not appear that Congress intended to require district court review of a magistrate's factual or legal conclusions, under a de novo or any other standard, when neither party objects to those findings”)).
After reviewing the Recommendation of Magistrate Judge Hegarty, in addition to applicable portions of the record and relevant legal authority, the Court is satisfied that the Recommendation is sound and not clearly erroneous or contrary to law. See Fed.R.Civ.P. 72(a). Accordingly, the Court ORDERS as follows:
The January 12, 2023, Report and Recommendation of United States Magistrate Judge (Doc. # 193) is AFFIRMED and ADOPTED as an order of this Court. It is
FURTHER ORDERED that Third Party Defendant Tico's Roofing, Inc.'s Motion to Dismiss (Doc. # 176) is DENIED.
