Filing 150

ORDER Concerning Possible Objections to 149 REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION and Response to Any Objections. Signed by District Judge Matthew F. Leitman. (HMon)

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN
SOUTHERN DIVISION
STEVE SHAYA,
Plaintiff,

Case No. 14-cv-11112
Hon. Matthew F. Leitman

v.
DAVID BELCASTRO, et al.,
Defendants.
_________________________________/
ORDER CONCERNING POSSIBLE OBJECTIONS TO REPORT AND
RECOMMENDATION (ECF #149) AND
RESPONSE TO ANY OBJECTIONS
On June 10, 2016, the Magistrate Judge filed a Report and Recommendation
(the “R&R,” ECF #149) with respect to the motions for summary judgment filed
by the Defendants (the “Motions,” ECF ## 103, 104, 105.) The Court is aware of
the large volume of material that was presented to the Magistrate Judge in
connection with the Motions, and the Court has conducted a preliminary review of
the R&R. It is abundantly clear that the Magistrate Judge spent a substantial
amount of time analyzing the parties' arguments and considering the voluminous
record in this case.
In order to avoid this Court unnecessarily duplicating the Magistrate Judge's
efforts and in order to conserve limited judicial resources, the Court will strictly
enforce the rule requiring any objections to the R&R to be specific. (See R&R at
1

52, Pg. ID 5821.) Each objection must specifically identify the precise portion of
the R&R to which it is addressed and must demonstrate how the Magistrate Judge
erred. Plaintiff must specifically craft each objection with reference to the R&R.
Plaintiff shall not re-file as its objections the briefs (or portions thereof) originally
filed in opposition to the Motions If Plaintiff files an objection(s) and Defendants
wish to respond, Defendants’ response(s) shall specifically address the points made
in the objections and the portions of the R&R addressed in the objections.
Defendants shall not re-file as their responses to Plaintiff's objection(s) the briefs
(or portions thereof) originally filed in support of the Motions.
IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: June 13, 2016
