ERIC WALTER,
JOHN/JANE DOE, and
RICHARD WATSON,
Defendants.
MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
Before the Court is Magistrate Judge Gilbert C. Sison’s Report and Recommendation
(“R&R”). (Dkt. No. 44). Magistrate Judge Sison recommends that this Court dismiss Defendants
John/Jane Doe and Richard Watson pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(b).
The Court may accept, reject, or modify—in whole or in part—the findings or
recommendations of a magistrate judge in a R&R. FED. R. CIV. P. 72(b)(3). The Court must review de
novo the portions of the R&R to which objections are made. Id. The parties have 14 days after service
of the R&R to file written objections. SDIL-LR 73.1(b). “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 received no objection to the R&R, reviewed the entire file, and finds that the R&R
is not clearly erroneous. Accordingly, the Court hereby:
•

ADOPTS the R&R in its entirety (Dkt. No. 44);

•

DISMISSES Defendant John/Jane Doe; and

•

DISMISSES Defendant Richard Watson.
SO ORDERED.
