OPINION AND ORDER ACCEPTING AND ADOPTING THE MAGISTRATE JUDGE'S
REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION [23]

In a report and recommendation ("R&R") issued on February 16, 2017 (Dkt. 23),
Magistrate Judge Stephanie Dawkins Davis recommends that the Court grant Defendants'
motion to dismiss. (Dkt. 14.) Neither party has filed objections to the R&R, and the
deadline for doing so has passed. The parties' failure to file objections to the R&R waives
any further right to appeal. Smith v. Detroit Fed'n of Teachers Local 231, 829 F.2d 1370,
1373 (6th Cir. 1987). Furthermore, the failure to object to the R&R releases the Court from
its duty to independently review the matter. Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 149-50 (1985).
Nonetheless, having reviewed the R&R, the underlying motion, and the record, the Court
concurs with the Magistrate Judge's analysis, and therefore ACCEPTS and ADOPTS the
Magistrate Judge's R&R.

Therefore, it is hereby ordered that Defendants' motion to dismiss is GRANTED.
SO ORDERED.
