ORDER
On June 26, 2017, the Magistrate Judge entered a Report and Recommendation
[46], observing that Plaintiffs had failed to timely serve Defendants Ram Capital
Funding, LLC; Steve Reich; Small Business Capital Services; and Michael Katz with
process, despite having been provided an extension of time to do so. Accordingly, the
Magistrate Judge recommended that the Court dismiss Plaintiffs’ claims against those
Defendants without prejudice, pursuant to Rule 4(m). The Magistrate Judge
specifically instructed Plaintiffs that they were free to file written objections to the
Report and Recommendation within fourteen days of its filing, but they did not file any
written objections.
Therefore, having reviewed the Report and Recommendation [46] and conducted
an independent analysis of the operative facts and law, the Court hereby adopts the
Magistrate Judge’s Report and Recommendations in full. Pursuant to Rule 4(m), the
Court dismisses without prejudice Plaintiffs’ claims against Defendants Ram
Capital Funding, LLC; Steve Reich; Small Business Capital Services; and Michael
Katz.
SO ORDERED AND ADJUDGED this __9th___ day of __August______, 2017.
