______________________________________/
ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION (Doc. 178)
AND DENYING PLAINTIFF’S MOTIONS FOR TRO (Docs. 176, 177)
On August 15, 2016, plaintiff proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis, filed a
complaint against the above named defendants. As best as can be gleaned, plaintiff
claims violations of state and federal law relating to proceedings before the Michigan
Supreme Court and Michigan Judicial Tenure Commission which resulted in her
removal from the bench upon a finding that she is “mentally unfit.” She also claims
violations of federal law during her employment as a state district court judge, including
Title VII (race, religion, and gender discrimination) and the Americans with Disabilities
Act. Pretrial matters have been referred to a magistrate judge. (Doc. 85).

Plaintiff then filed two “Emergency Ex-Parte Petition[s] to Issue [a] Temporary
Restraining Order,” (Doc. 176-177). The magistrate judge issued a report and
recommendation, MJRR, recommending that the motions be denied. (Doc. 178). To
date, no objections have been filed and the time for filing objections has passed.
The failure to file objections to the report and recommendation waives any further
right to appeal. Smith v. Detroit Federation 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 motions. Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S.
140, 149 (1985). However, the Court has reviewed the MJRR and agrees with the
magistrate judge. Accordingly, the findings and conclusions of the magistrate judge are
ADOPTED as the findings and conclusions of the Court. Plaintiff’s motions are DENIED.

SO ORDERED.
