UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
DISTRICT OF MINNESOTA

Michael Williams,

Case No. 16-cv-0552 (WMW/SER)
Plaintiff,
ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND
RECOMMENDATION

v.
Bart Hollaren, Dana Feddema, Chad
Mitsch, Kristin Lang, and Tessa Ion,
Defendants.

This matter is before the Court on the January 11, 2017 Amended Report and
Recommendation (“R&R”) of United States Magistrate Judge Steven E. Rau. (Dkt. 55.)
No objections to the R&R have been filed in the time period permitted. In the absence of
timely objections, this Court reviews an R&R for clear error. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b)
advisory committee’s note (“When no timely objection is filed, the court need only
satisfy itself that there is no clear error on the face of the record in order to accept the
recommendation.”); Grinder v. Gammon, 73 F.3d 793, 795 (8th Cir. 1996). Having
reviewed the R&R, the Court finds no clear error.
