UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN
SOUTHERN DIVISION
ARNOLD KUERBITZ,
Plaintiff,
v.
Case No. 16-12736
Hon. Terrence G. Berg
Hon. Elizabeth A. Stafford
ANDREW E. MEISNER, et al,
Defendants.
ORDER ACCEPTING AND ADOPTING REPORT AND
RECOMMENDATION (DKT. 25), GRANTING IN PART AND DENYING IN
PART DEFENDANTS’ MOTION TO DISMISS (DKT. 12), DENYING
PLAINTIFF’S MOTION FOR PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION (DKT. 3), AND
DENYING PLAINTIFF’S COMBINED MOTION FOR OBJECTIONS AND TO
STRIKE DEFENDANTS’ MOTION TO DISMISS (DKT. 17)
This matter is before the Court on Magistrate Judge Elizabeth A. Stafford’s
February 1, 2017 report and recommendation (Dkt. 25), recommending that
Defendants’ motion to dismiss (Dkt. 12) be granted in part and denied in part, and
that Plaintiff’s motion for preliminary injunction (Dkt. 3) and combined motion for
objections and to strike Defendant’s motion to dismiss (Dkt. 17) be denied.
The Court has carefully reviewed the Magistrate Judge’s report and
recommendation, and finds it well reasoned and supported by the relevant law. The
law provides that either party may serve and file written objections “[w]ithin fourteen
days after being served with a copy” of the report and recommendations.
28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1). If a party files written objections, the district court will make a
“de novo determination of those portions of the report . . . to which objection is made.”
Id. As of this date, no party filed any objections to the report and recommendation,
and the time to do so has now expired, meaning the district court is not obligated to
review the record independently. See Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 149-52 (1985).
The Court will therefore accept the Magistrate Judge’s report and recommendation
of February 1, 2017, as this Court’s findings of fact and conclusions of law.
Accordingly, it is hereby ORDERED that Magistrate Judge Stafford’s Report and
Recommendation of February 1, 2017 (Dkt. 25) is ACCEPTED and ADOPTED.
Defendant’s motion to dismiss (Dkt. 12) is GRANTED IN PART AND DENIED IN
PART. Plaintiff’s claims that his First and Fourteenth Amendment rights were
violated when he was prevented from entering the public foreclosure auction remain
in the case, his other claims are DISMISSED. And Plaintiff’s motions (Dkts. 3 and
17) are DENIED.
SO ORDERED.
Dated: February 27, 2017
