UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT EASTERN DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN SOUTHERN DIVISION SAMUEL C. ROGERS, Plaintiff, v. Case Number 16-12509 Honorable David M. Lawson Magistrate Judge Stephanie Dawkins Davis MICHIGAN ATTORNEY GENERAL, MICHIGAN TENURE COMMISSION, and MICHIGAN FRIEND OF THE COURTS, Defendants. ______________________________________/ ORDER ADOPTING MAGISTRATE JUDGE’S REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION AND DISMISSING COMPLAINT WITHOUT PREJUDICE Presently before the Court is the report issued on December 1, 2016 by Magistrate Judge Stephanie Dawkins Davis pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b), recommending that the Court dismiss the plaintiff’s complaint without prejudice. Although the report stated that the parties to this action could 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. #8] is ADOPTED. It is further ORDERED that the complaint is DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE. s/David M. Lawson DAVID M. LAWSON United States District Judge Dated: December 21, 2016 PROOF OF SERVICE The undersigned certifies that a copy of the foregoing order was served upon each attorney or party of record herein by electronic means or first class U.S. mail on December 21, 2016. s/Susan Pinkowski SUSAN PINKOWSKI -2-
