Case No. 16-cv-01103-JPG-DGW

MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
This matter comes before the court on the Report and Recommendation (“R & R”) (Doc. 32) of
Magistrate Judge Donald G. Wilkerson with regard to the Motion (Doc. 13) to Intervene by John Newson,
Jr. There were no objections to the R & R and the time for objections has expired.
The Court may accept, reject or modify, in whole or in part, the findings or recommendations of
the magistrate judge in a report and recommendation. Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b)(3). The Court must review de
novo the portions of the report to which objections are made. The Court has discretion to conduct a new
hearing and may consider the record before the magistrate judge anew or receive any further evidence
deemed necessary. Id. “If no objection or only partial objection is made, the district court judge reviews
those unobjected portions for clear error.” Johnson v. Zema Sys. Corp., 170 F.3d 734, 739 (7th Cir. 1999).
The Court has received no objection to the R & R. The Court has reviewed the entire file and
finds that the R & R is not clearly erroneous. Accordingly, the Court hereby ADOPTS the Report in its
entirety (Doc. 32) and DENIES the Motion (Doc. 13) to Intervene by John Newson, Jr.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
