CASE NO. 18-11534
HON. MARIANNE O. BATTANI

JAMES DIMON, ET AL.,
Defendant.

ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION AND DENYING
PLAINTIFF’S MOTIONS FOR DEFAULT JUDGMENT
On May 16, 2018, Plaintiff filed a pro se civil complaint [Doc. #1]. Plaintiff filed
two motions for default judgment [Doc. #40 and Doc. #43] as to Defendants Dimon,
Lake, Weldon, Raymond, Neal, Jackson, Hobson, Flynn, Burke, Crown, Bell, Combs,
Bammann (the “Director Defendants”), and JPMorgan Chase Bank. The two motions
for default judgment were referred for a Report and Recommendation under 28 U.S.C. §
636(b)(1)(B) to Magistrate Judge R. Steven Whalen.
In a Report and Recommendation ("R&R") dated January 29, 2019, Magistrate
Judge Whalen recommended that Plaintiff’s motions for default judgment [Doc. #40 and
Doc. #43] be DENIED. In his R&R, the Magistrate Judge informed the parties that
objections to the R&R needed to be filed within 14 days of service and that a party’s
failure to file objections would waive any further right of appeal. (ECF No. 59 at Page
3). A copy of the Report and Recommendation was mailed to Plaintiff Shonnon Sawyer
on January 29, 2019 pursuant to the Court docket sheet.
Neither party filed an objection. Because no objection has been filed in this case,

the parties waived their right to de novo review and appeal. Moreover, this Court
agrees with the thorough analysis contained in the R&R.
Accordingly, the Court ADOPTS the Magistrate Judge’s recommendation,
DENIES Plaintiff’s Motions for Default Judgment [Doc. #40 and Doc. #43] as to
Defendants Dimon, Lake, Weldon, Raymond, Neal, Jackson, Hobson, Flynn, Burke,
Crown, Bell, Combs, Bammann (the “Director Defendants”), and JPMorgan Chase
Bank.
IT IS SO ORDERED.

Date: March 8, 2019
