Plaintiff,

RYAN C. FRENCH,
Defendant.

CAUSE NO. 4:12-CV-73

OPINION AND ORDER
This

matter

is

before

the

Court

on

the

Report

and

Recommendation of Magistrate Judge Andrew P. Rodovich, filed on
December 18, 2014 (DE #39).

Judge Rodovich has recommended that

this matter be dismissed because Plaintiff, Jessica Elizabeth
Thomas, has displayed continuous contumacious conduct as described
more fully in the body of the Report and Recommendation.

In

essence, Thomas has disregarded and failed to comply with this
Court’s orders despite repeated warnings of possible sanctions.
The Report and Recommendation itself explains that the failure to
file a timely objection to its contents will result in the waiver
of the right to challenge it before this Court or the Court of
Appeals.

See Willis v. Caterpillar, Inc., 199 F.3d 902, 904

(1999). Neither party has filed an objection to date, and the time
period for doing so has passed.

Therefore, upon due consideration, the Court hereby ADOPTS the
Report and Recommendation (DE #39).
DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE.

Accordingly, this matter is

The clerk is DIRECTED to close this

case.

January 6, 2015
