Hon. Iain D. Johnston Judge
This Court has reviewed Magistrate Judge Jensen's December 27, 2021 Report and Recommendation for clear error and agrees with its findings and conclusions.

STATEMENT
By order dated December 27, 2021, Magistrate Judge Jensen recommended that Plaintiffs motion to voluntarily dismiss Defendant Apryl Liggett be granted. No. obj ections have been filed.
The Court may accept, reject or modify, in whole or in part, the findings or recommendations of the magistrate judge in a report and recommendation. Fed.R.Civ.P. 72(b)(3). The Court must review de novo the portions of the report to which obj ections are made. Id. “If no objection or only partial objection is made, the district court judge reviews those unobjected portions for clear error.” Johnson v. Zema Sys. Corp., 170 F.3d 734, 739 (7th Cir. 1999). “The clear error standard means that the district court can overturn the magistrate judge's ruling only if the district court is left with the definite and firm conviction that a mistake has been made.” Weeks v. Samsung Heavy Indus. Co., 126 F.3d 926, 943 (7th Cir. 1997).
No parties objected to the report and recommendation, and the Court finds no clear error in Magistrate Judge Jensen's recommendation that the motion be granted. The Court therefore adopts Magistrate Judge Jensen's December 27, 2021 Report and Recommendation in its entirety. Defendant Apryl Liggett is dismissed as a Defendant in this action without prejudice.
