OPINION and ORDER Accepting 70 REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION - Signed by District Judge Nancy G. Edmunds. (LBar)

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN
SOUTHERN DIVISION
JEFFREY T. PRICE,
Plaintiff,

Case No. 17-10601

v.
Honorable Nancy G. Edmunds
DON EDWARDS ET. AL.,
Defendants.
/
ORDER ACCEPTING THE MAGISTRATE JUDGE’S FEBRUARY 28, 2020 REPORT
AND RECOMMENDATION [70]
Pending before the Court is the magistrate judge’s February 24, 2020 report and
recommendation (ECF No. 70). As a final resolution to this dispute, the magistrate judge
recommends the Court to find that Plaintiff is not required to register under SORA, either
for a period of 25 years or for life; and that Plaintiff is not obligated to pay the annual fees
as set out in M.C.L. § § 28.725(a)(6)(b)-(c) and 28.725b(3). The magistrate judge further
recommends that the case be dismissed with prejudice, pursuant to the parties’
settlement agreement.
The Court is fully advised in the premises and has reviewed the record and the
pleadings.

Neither party filed objections to the magistrate judge’s report and

recommendation. “[T]he failure to object to the magistrate judge’s report[] releases the
Court from its duty to independently review the matter.” Hall v. Rawal, 09-10933, 2012
WL 3639070, at *1 (E.D.Mich. Aug. 24, 2012) (citation omitted). The Court nevertheless
agrees with the magistrate judge’s recommendation. The Court therefore ACCEPTS and
ADOPTS the magistrate judge’s report and recommendation in its entirety, and orders
1 

that Plaintiff is not required to register under SORA, either for a period of 25 years or for
life; and that Plaintiff is not obligated to pay the annual fees as set out in M.C.L. § §
28.725(a)(6)(b)-(c) and 28.725b(3).
It is further ordered that Plaintiff's complaint is hereby DISMISSED with
prejudice.
SO ORDERED.
