ORDER
Before the Court is the Report and Recommendation filed December 15, 2011, by the
Honorable Barry A. Bryant, United States Magistrate Judge for the Western District of Arkansas.
(ECF No. 79). Judge Bryant recommends that Plaintiff’s Motion for Default Judgement (ECF No.
77) as to Defendant Emanual Harris be denied as premature due to the need for a hearing regarding
damages that would most reasonably be held after a pending motion for summary judgment is ruled
upon. The parties have not filed objections to the Report and Recommendation, and the time to
object has passed. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1). Therefore, the Court adopts the Report and
Recommendation in toto. Plaintiff’s Motion for Default Judgment (ECF No. 77) is DENIED as
premature.
IT IS SO ORDERED, this 4th day of January, 2012.
