CASE NO. 3:18-cv-476-PPS-MGG

ORDER
No objections have been timely filed to the report and recommendation of
United States Magistrate Judge Michael G. Gotsch denying Plaintiff Stephen Taghon’s
motion for leave to amend his complaint and dismissal for failure to prosecute and
comply with court orders pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b). Without objection, then, I
adopt Judge Gotsch’s findings that plaintiffs’ failures to sign their motion and failure to
comply with the Court’s order [DE 9] warrants denial of the motion for leave to amend
and dismissal of the complaint, on account of plaintiffs’ failure to file a proof of service
of the summonses and complaint in this more than six months after the case was filed
and the summonses issued.
ACCORDINGLY:
Judge Gotsch’s Report and Recommendation [DE 11] are ACCEPTED AND
ADOPTED.

Plaintiffs’ Motion for Leave to Amend [De 8] is DENIED; and Plaintiffs’ case is
DISMISSED without prejudice. The clerk is directed to CLOSE this case.
SO ORDERED on January 23, 2019.
