UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN
SOUTHERN DIVISION
RYAN BROWN,
Plaintiff,
v.
Case No. 14-13922
OAKLAND COUNTY JAIL,
HON. TERRENCE G. BERG
HON. R. STEVEN WHALEN
Defendant.

ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION (DKT. 34)
This matter is before the Court on Magistrate Judge R. Steven Whalen’s July
24, 2017 Report and Recommendation (Dkt. 34), recommending that Defendant’s
Motion for Summary Judgment (Dkt. 32) be GRANTED, and Plaintiff’s complaint
be DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE.
The Court has reviewed the Magistrate Judge’s Report and Recommendation.
The law provides that either party may serve and file written objections “[w]ithin
fourteen days after being served with a copy” of a report and recommendation.
28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1). The district court will make a “de novo determination of those
portions of the report . . . to which objection is made.” Id. Where, as here, neither
party objects to the report, the district court is not obligated to independently
review the record. See Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 149-52 (1985). The Court will
therefore accept the Magistrate’s Report and Recommendation of July 24, 2017 as
this Court’s findings of fact and conclusions of law.
Accordingly, it is hereby ORDERED that Magistrate Judge Whalen’s Report
and Recommendation of July 24, 2017 is ACCEPTED and ADOPTED. It is
FURTHER ORDERED that Defendant’s Motion for Summary Judgment is
GRANTED, and Plaintiff’s complaint is DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE.
SO ORDERED.
Dated: August 18, 2017
