Case No. 18-cv-00583-SMY

MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
YANDLE, District Judge:
This matter is before the Court on the Report and Recommendation (“Report”) of United
States Magistrate Judge Gilbert C. Sison, recommending that this case be dismissed with
prejudice pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(b) for failure to prosecute and failure to
comply with court orders. (Doc. 35). No objections have been filed to the Report.
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. Johnson v. Zema Systems Corp., 170
F.3d 734, 739 (7th Cir. 1999). Instead, the Court reviews the Report for clear error. Id. 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). The Court finds no error in the Report and
agrees with Judge Sison’s findings of fact and conclusions of law.
Accordingly, the Court ADOPTS the Report in its entirety and this action is
DISMISSED with prejudice pursuant to Rule 41(b). The Clerk of Court is DIRECTED to
enter Judgment and to close this case.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
DATED: January 21, 2020
