UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN
SOUTHERN DIVISION
MORRIS WEATHERSPOON,
Plaintiff,

Case No. 14-cv-12789
Hon. Matthew F. Leitman

v.
GEORGE LNU, et al.
Defendants.
_________________________________/
ORDER ADOPTING REPORT & RECOMMENDATION
(ECF #44) AND DENYING PLAINTIFF’S MOTIONS
FOR DEFAULT JUDGMENT (ECF ##33-37)
On January 9, 2015, Magistrate Judge David R. Grand issued a Report and
Recommendation (the “R&R,” ECF #44) recommending that the Court deny
Plaintiff Morris Weatherspoon’s Motions for Default Judgment as to Defendants
George LNU, Angie LNU, Tammy LNU, Dr. Abdullateef, and LNU Woern (the
“Motions for Default Judgment,” ECF ##33, 34, 35, 36, and 37). The R&R stated
that the parties could object to and seek review of the recommendation within
fourteen days. (See the R&R at 3, Pg. ID 319.)
No party has objected to the R&R. Failure to file objections to the R&R
waives any further right to appeal. See Howard v. Sec’y of Health and Human
Servs., 932 F.2d 505 (6th Cir. 1991); 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 R&R releases the Court from its duty to independently review
the matter.

See Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 149 (1985).

The Court has

nevertheless reviewed the R&R and agrees with the findings and conclusions of
the Magistrate Judge.
Therefore, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Magistrate Judge’s January
9, 2015, R&R (ECF #44) is ADOPTED as the Opinion of this Court. IT IS
FURTHER ORDERED, for the reasons stated in the R&R, that Defendant’s
Motions for Default Judgment (ECF ##33, 34, 35, 36, and 37) are DENIED.
