ORDER Adopting 16 Report and Recommendation granting 13 Motion for Summary Judgment filed by James Miller, Signed by District Judge Bernard A Friedman. (CMul)

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT EASTERN DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN SOUTHERN DIVISION

BERNARD JONES, Plaintiff, vs. HON. BERNARD A. FRIEDMAN JAMES MILLER, Defendant. _______________________/ ORDER ACCEPTING AND ADOPTING THE MAGISTRATE JUDGE'S REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION AND DISMISSING ALL CLAIMS This matter is presently before the Court on Magistrate Judge Michael Hluchaniuk's Report and Recommendation ("R&R") dated February 11, 2009. In his R&R, Magistrate Judge Hluchaniuk recommends that Defendant's Motion for Summary Judgment be granted and that Plaintiff's Complaint be dismissed. On February 25, 2009, Plaintiff filed objections to the Magistrate Judge's R&R. However, Plaintiff's objections do not specifically address the legal reasoning supporting the Magistrate Judge's recommendations. In any case, the Court has conducted a de novo review of this matter pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1) and FED. R. CIV. P. 72(b). The Court finds that Magistrate Judge Hluchaniuk reached the proper conclusions for the proper reasons and will therefore accept and adopt the Magistrate Judge's R&R as the findings and conclusions of the Court. Accordingly, Civil Action No. 07-CV-14881
