ORDER Adopting 20 Report and Recommendation and Dismissing Case for Failure to Prosecute. Signed by District Judge David M. Lawson. (SPin)
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN
SOUTHERN DIVISION
KRISTINE KEATON,
Plaintiff,
v.
Case Number 14-14471
Honorable David M. Lawson
Magistrate Judge Mona K. Majzoub
COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL SECURITY,
Defendant.
_____________________________________/
ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION AND
DISMISSING CASE FOR FAILURE TO PROSECUTE
Presently before the Court is the report issued on March 11, 2016 by Magistrate Judge Mona
K. Majzoub pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b), recommending that the Court dismiss this case without
prejudice for failure to prosecute. Although the magistrate judge’s report explicitly stated that the
parties to this action may object to and seek review of the recommendation within fourteen days of
service of the report, no objections have been filed thus far. The parties’ failure to file objections
to the report and recommendation waives any further right to appeal. 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 report releases the Court from its duty to independently review the matter.
Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 149 (1985). However, the Court agrees with the findings and
conclusions of the magistrate judge.
Accordingly, it is ORDERED that the magistrate judge’s report and recommendation [dkt.
#20] is ADOPTED.
It is further ORDERED that this case is DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE for failure
to prosecute.
