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 (Doc. 35), recommending that this case be dismissed with prejudice.
No objections to the Report have been filed. For the following reasons, Judge Sison’s Report and
Recommendation is ADOPTED.
When neither timely nor specific objections to a Report are made, the Court need not conduct
a de novo. 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 Sison thoroughly discussed and supported his conclusion that Plaintiff Richard
Thompson is has failed to prosecute this case. The Court finds no clear error in Judge Sison’s findings,
analysis, or conclusions, and adopts his Report and Recommendation in its entirety. Accordingly, this
case is DISMISSED with prejudice. Judgment shall be entered.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
