DANIEL C. WALLER, JR., Plaintiff, v. TIAVON MOORE-PATTON, RAMONA VINCENT, MARIA ROSADO, BENJAMIN QUANTA MiDOGE, CRINISHA HALL, ANGELA CALLOWAY, and ROBERT CAIN Defendants.
Magistrate Judge David R. Grand ORDER ADOPTING MAGISTRATE JUDGE'S REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION AND DENYING DEFENDANT'S MOTION TO DISMISS
Presently before the Court is the report issued on August 24, 2016 by Magistrate Judge David R. Grand pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b), recommending that the Court deny the defendant'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. #64] is ADOPTED.
It is further ORDERED that the defendant's motion to dismiss [dkt. #56] is DENIED.
