UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff, v. JOE L. FLOWERS Defendant.
ORDER ADOPTING MAGISTRATE JUDGE'S REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
This matter was referred to United States Magistrate R. Steven Whalen pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §636(b)(1)(B) and Local Rule 72.1. In his report filed on February 13, 2019, the magistrate judge recommended that this court dismiss Mr. Flowers' objections to the writ of garnishment to him and the Michigan Department of Treasury [Doc#11], under the terms placed on the record on February 13, 2019.
No objections have been filed pursuant to 28 U.S.C.§ 636(b)(1)(C), thus further appeal rights are waived.
The failure to object to the magistrate judge's report releases the court from its duty to independently review the motion. Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 149 (1985). --------
The Court ADOPTS the Report and Recommendation for purposes of this Order.
Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that, for the reasons set forth in the Magistrate Judge's Report and Recommendation, Mr. Flowers' objections to the writ of garnishment to him and the Michigan Department of Treasury are DISMISSED.
