UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT EASTERN DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN NORTHERN DIVISION UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff, Case Number 09-12007 Honorable Thomas L. Ludington v. WILLIAM BLI, LYN BLI, Defendants. ______________________________________/ ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION, GRANTING MOTION FOR DEFAULT JUDGMENT, AND DIRECTING PLAINTIFF TO SUBMIT A COPY OF THE PROPOSED JUDGMENT THROUGH UTILITIES On September 28, 2009, Plaintiff filed an amended complaint [Dkt # 16] against Defendants William and Lyn Bli seeking an order directing them to vacate certain premises. On October 28, 2009, the Clerk of the Court entered a default as to both Defendants. On November 10, 2009, Plaintiff filed a motion for default judgment and attached a proposed judgment [Dkt. # 20]. Now before the Court is the report and recommendation of the magistrate judge [Dkt. # 21], issued on November 16, 2009, recommending that Plaintiff's motion be granted. As of today's date, no party has filed any objections to the magistrate judge's report and recommendation. The failure to file objections to the report and recommendation waives any further right to appeal. Smith v. Detroit Fed'n of Teachers Local 231, 829 F.2d 1370, 1373 (6th Cir. 1987). Likewise, the failure to object to the magistrate judge's report releases the Court from its duty to independently review the record. Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 149 (1985).

Accordingly, it is ORDERED that the report and recommendation of the magistrate judge [Dkt. # 21] is ADOPTED. It is further ORDERED that Plaintiff's motion for default judgment [Dkt. # 20] is GRANTED. It is further ORDERED that Plaintiff is DIRECTED to submit a copy of the proposed judgment [Dkt. # 20-2] through the Utilities function of the CM/ECF system on or before December 23, 2009. s/Thomas L. Ludington THOMAS L. LUDINGTON United States District Judge Dated: December 10, 2009
