ORDER Adopting 12 Report and Recommendation. Signed by District Judge David M. Lawson. (SPin)

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN
SOUTHERN DIVISION
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff,
v.

Case Number 11-50839
Honorable David M. Lawson
Magistrate Judge Elizabeth A. Stafford

JANEAN COLLINS,
Defendant,
and
HENRY FORD HEALTH SYSTEM,
Garnishee.
________________________________________/
ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
Presently before the Court is the report issued on June 27, 2023 by Magistrate Judge
Elizabeth A. Stafford under 28 U.S.C. § 636(b) recommending that the Court deny as moot the
defendant’s request for a garnishment hearing on the ground that she is no longer employed by the
garnishee. The deadline for filing objections to the report has passed, and no objections have been
filed. The parties’ 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 matter. Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 149 (1985). However, the
Court agrees with the findings and conclusions of the magistrate judge.

Accordingly, it is ORDERED that the report and recommendation (ECF No. 12) is
ADOPTED, and the defendant’s objection to the writ of continuing garnishment is DENIED as
moot.
