ORDER ADOPTING REPORT & RECOMMENDATION

T-MOBILE, USA, INC.

DEFENDANT
*** *** *** ***

This matter is before the Court upon the Magistrate Judge’s Report and
Recommendation (Doc. # 17), wherein he recommends that the Court grant Defendant’s
Motion to Compel Arbitration (Doc. # 8). The Magistrate Judge’s recommendation is based
on his conclusion that Plaintiff entered an agreement to arbitrate his Telephone Consumer
Protection Act claim brought in the above-styled matter by agreeing to an arbitration clause
in a set of terms and conditions proposed by Defendant T-Mobile, USA, Inc..
No objections having been filed to the Magistrate Judge’s Report and
Recommendation, and the time to do so having now expired, the matter is ripe for the
Court’s review. Having reviewed the Report and Recommendation, and concluding that
it is sound in all respects, and the Court being otherwise sufficiently advised,
IT IS ORDERED as follows:
(1)

The Magistrate Judge’s Report and Recommendation (Doc. # 17) is hereby

ADOPTED as the Opinion of the Court;

1

(2)

Defendant’s Motion to Compel Arbitration (Doc. # 8) is hereby GRANTED;

(3)

Plaintiff is hereby ORDERED to submit to arbitration as required by the

Arbitration Policy; and
(4)

This matter is hereby STAYED pending arbitration. The parties shall file a

joint status report within thirty (30) days from the arbitrator’s final decision advising the
Court of the outcome of the arbitration.
This 12th day of September, 2013.
