ORDER AND OPINION ACCEPTING THE MAGISTRATE JUDGE’S MARCH 31, 2015
REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION [57]

Currently before the Court is the magistrate judge’s March 31, 2015 report and
recommendation. 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 nevertheless agrees with the magistrate judge’s
recommendation. The Court therefore ACCEPTS and ADOPTS the magistrate judge’s
report and recommendation.
It is further ordered that Defendant Marita's counterclaims [29, 31] are DISMISSED
and Plaintiff's motion to dismiss counterclaims [51] is DENIED as moot.
SO ORDERED.
