ORDER AFFIRMING RECOMMENDED DECISIONS
OF THE MAGISTRATE JUDGE
On January 14, 2025, I issued an order accepting the Report and Recommended
Decision of Magistrate Judge John C. Nivison (ECF No. 6) and I ordered that the case be
dismissed. On January 16, Plaintiff filed a Motion for Relief from Judgment (ECF No. 8)
and on January 21, Magistrate Judge Nivison issued a Report and Recommended Decision
(ECF No. 9) with a copy to the Plaintiff with objections due February 4, 2025. On January
22, Plaintiff filed a Supplemental Motion for Relief from Judgment (ECF No. 10). On
January 24, Magistrate Judge Nivison issued another Report and Recommended Decision,
with a copy to the Plaintiff, recommending that the request for relief be dismissed and with
any objections due by February 7, 2025 (ECF No. 11). The time within which to file
objections has expired and no objection was filed. The Magistrate Judge notified the
Plainitff that failure to object would waive his right to de novo review and appeal.
Furthermore, upon de novo review I concur with the assessment of the Magistrate Judge
and find that no futher proceeding is needed in this matter.

It is therefore ORDERED that the Recommended Decisions of the Magistrate Judge
are hereby AFFIRMED and ADOPTED and the case is dismissed (ECF Nos. 9 and 11).
SO ORDERED.
Dated this 12th day of March, 2025.

Chief U.S. District Judge
