ORDER Adopting 15 Report and Recommendation. Signed by District Judge Terrence G. Berg. (AChu)

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN
SOUTHERN DIVISION

ANTHONY JONES,
Plaintiff,
Case No. 16-10711
Hon. Terrence G. Berg
Hon. Mona K. Majzoub

v.
WARREN EVANS,
Defendant.

ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
(DKT. 15)
This matter is before the Court on Magistrate Judge Mona K
Majzoub’s August 29, 2017 Report and Recommendation, Dkt. 15,
recommending that Plaintiff’s Complaint, Dkt. 1, be DISMISSED
pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b), for failure to prosecute.
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 August 29, 2017 as this Court’s findings of fact and conclusions of
law.
Accordingly, it is hereby ORDERED that Magistrate Judge
Majzoub’s Report and Recommendation of August 29, 2017 is ACCEPTED and ADOPTED.

SO ORDERED.

Dated: October 27, 2017
