TRANSLANTICA COMMODITIES PTE LTD v. HANWIN SHIPPING LIMITED, et al
ORDER ADOPTING MEMORANDUM AND RECOMMENDATION
ANDREW S. HANEN, UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
Pending before the Court are Plaintiffs Motion to Dismiss Hanwin Shipping Limited's Counterclaim and for return of countersecurity (Doc. No. 80); Garnishee American Shipping and Chartering Corp. opposes this motion (Doc. No. 81); and Magistrate Judge Sheldon's Memorandum and Recommendation (Doc. No. 88). The parties did not file objections to the Memorandum and Recommendation and the time for doing so has passed.
Upon review, the Court agrees with the Magistrate Judge's conclusion that Defendant Hanwin Shipping remains unrepresented by counsel, has made no indication that it has retained counsel to represent them in this matter or otherwise communicated with the Court. Accordingly, it is hereby
ORDERED that the Memorandum and Recommendation (Doc. No. 88) is ADOPTED and Transatlantica Commodities PTE LTD's Motion to Dismiss (Doc. No. 81) is GRANTED. It is further ORDERED that the funds in the amount of $979,893.63, plus any accrued interest, held in the Registry of the Court shall be returned to Transatlantica Commodities PTE LTD.
