Case No. 17-CV-258-SMY-RJD

MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
YANDLE, District Judge:
This matter is before the Court on the Report and Recommendation (“Report”) of United
States Magistrate Judge Reona J. Daly (Doc. 33), recommending the granting of Defendant Dr.
Coe’s Motion for Sanctions (Doc. 32). No objections to the Report have been filed. See 28 U.S.C.
§ 636(b)(1); Fed.R.Civ.P. 72(b)(2); SDIL-LR 73.1(b). For the following reasons, Judge Daly’s
Report is ADOPTED.
When neither timely nor specific objections to a Report and Recommendation are made,
the Court need not conduct a de novo review of the Report. See Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140
(1985). Instead, the Court reviews the Report for clear error. Johnson v. Zema Systems Corp., 170
F.3d 734, 739 (7th Cir. 1999). The Court may “accept, reject, or modify, in whole or in part, the
findings or recommendations made by the magistrate judge.” 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1).
Here, Judge Daly thoroughly discussed and supported her conclusion that Plaintiff has
failed to prosecute this action. The Court finds no clear error with Judge Daly’s findings, analysis
or conclusions, and ADOPTS her Report and Recommendation in its entirety. Accordingly,
Defendant’s Motion for Sanctions is GRANTED (Doc. 33) and this matter is DISMISSED
