ORDER AND OPINION ACCEPTING THE MAGISTRATE JUDGE’S JANUARY 4,
2013 REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION [12]

Before the Court is the magistrate judge’s report and recommendation that the Court
deny Plaintiff Rachel Cassiel Wheeler’s motion to remand (dkt 2) and grant Defendants
Federal National Mortgage Association and Wells Fargo’s motion to set aside the state
court default (dkt. 7). (Dkt. 12.) The Court is fully advised in the premises and has
reviewed the record and the pleadings. Neither party has filed objections. “[T]he failure
to object to the magistrate judge’s report[] releases the Court from its duty to independently
review the matter.” Hall v. Rawal, 09-10933, 2012 WL 3639070, at *1 (E.D.Mich. Aug. 24,
2012) (citation omitted). The Court therefore ACCEPTS and ADOPTS the magistrate
judge’s report and recommendation.
The Court therefore DENIES Plaintiff’s motion to remand. (Dkt. 2.) The Court
GRANTS Defendants’ Motion to Set Aside State Court Default. (Dkt. 12.)
SO ORDERED.
