UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN
SOUTHERN DIVISION

PARRISH REDD,
Plaintiff,

Case No. 14-14340
Hon. Marianne O. Battani

v.
TERRANCE VAILS, et al.,
Defendants.
____________________________/
ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION AND
DENYING PLAINTIFF’S MOTIONS FOR DEFAULT JUDGMENT
Plaintiff filed a pro se complaint alleging copyright infringement in November
2014. The Court referred the case to United States Magistrate Judge R. Steven
Whalen for all pretrial proceedings. On March 27, 2015, Magistrate Judge Whalen
issued a Report and Recommendation (“R&R”) recommending that the Court deny
Plaintiff’s Motions for Default Judgment as to Chris Hugan and Marty Peters (See Doc.
Nos. 39, 43, 44, 45, 50).
In his Report and Recommendation, the Magistrate Judge informed the parties
that objections to the R&R needed to be filed “within fourteen (14) days of service” and
that a party’s failure to file objections would waive any further right of appeal. (Doc. No.
51 at 4). No objection has been filed.
Not only does the Court agree with the analysis and recommendations contained
in the R&R that the time for Defendants Peters and Hugan to file an answer had not
passed and there had been no entry of default, the Court adds that Hugan and Peters

timely answered the complaint after the R&R was filed.
Accordingly, the Court ADOPTS the Magistrate Judge’s recommendation and
DENIES Plaintiff’s motions.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
Date: April 21, 2015
