ORDER ADOPTING THE MAGISTRATE JUDGE’S REPORT AND
RECOMMENDATION
On December 27, 2007, Plaintiff, Anthony Mines, individually and on behalf of
other similarly situated, filed a Class Action Complaint against the Defendants, Galaxy
International Purchasing, LLC and Global Credit & Collection Corporation, alleging that
they failed to identify the current creditor of his debt and the putative class members’
debts in violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. On April 5, 2018,
Defendants filed a Motion to Compel Arbitration and Stay Case. The court referred the
matter to the Magistrate Judge, who issued her Report and Recommendation. The
Magistrate Judge recommended that the court grant Defendants’ motion. Neither party
objects. “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 has reviewed the Magistrate Judge’s Report and
1

Recommendation and finds no clear error. Accordingly, the court ADOPTS the
Magistrate Judge’s Report and Recommendation (Filing No. 49) and GRANTS
Defendants’ Motion to Compel and Stay Case (Filing No. 26). This action is STAYED
pending completion of the arbitration pursuant to the terms of the Arbitration Provision at
issue.

SO ORDERED this 22nd day of March 2019.

Distributed Electronically to Registered Counsel of Record.
