Opinion
Case No. 13-15291
10-14-2014
CRAIG L. WRIGHT, special Fiduciary for A.S., as protected minor, Plaintiff, v. PNC FINANCIAL SERVICES GROUP, INC. AND STACI SUTHERBY-HURD, Defendants.
R. Steven Whalen United States Magistrate Judge
ORDER ADOPTING THE MAGISTRATE JUDGE'S REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION (ECF NO. 22) AND DENYING PLAINTIFF'S MOTION TO REMAND (ECF NO. 15)
Before the Court is Magistrate Judge R. Steven Whalen's September 17, 2014 Report and Recommendation. (ECF No. 22). In the Report and Recommendation, Magistrate Judge Whalen suggests the Court deny Plaintiff's "Motion to Decline Supplemental Jurisdiction and to Remand to Genesee County Probate Court" (ECF No. 15) due to Plaintiff's attempt to manipulate the forum by selectively dismissing his claims against Metlife, Inc. and Howard T. Linden. (ECF No. 22, at 7-8). Neither Plaintiff nor the remaining Defendants have filed any objections to the Report and Recommendation.
Accordingly, having reviewed that Report and Recommendation, and where there are no timely objections from either party under 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1) and E.D. Mich L.R. 72.1(d), the Court ADOPTS the Magistrate Judge's Report and Recommendation (ECF No. 22) and DENIES Plaintiff's Motion to Decline Supplemental Jurisdiction to Remand to Genesee County Probate Court (ECF No. 15).
IT IS SO ORDERED.
