Magistrate Judge Stephanie Dawkins Davis ORDER ADOPTING MAGISTRATE JUDGE'S REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION AND DISMISSING COMPLAINT
Presently before the Court is the report issued on May 30, 2018 by Magistrate Judge Stephanie Dawkins Davis pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b), recommending that the Court dismiss the plaintiff's complaint for failure to prosecute under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(b). 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. #15] is ADOPTED.
It is further ORDERED that the complaint is DISMISSED.
