MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
Case No. 11-CV-2765 (FB) (LB)
PULLINI SUBSURFACE CONTRACTOR,
INC.,
Defendant.
--------------------------------------------------------x
BLOCK, Senior District Judge:
On October 5, 2012, Magistrate Judge Bloom issued a report and
recommendation (“R&R”) recommending that judgment be entered against Pullini
Subsurface Contractor, Inc. (“Pullini”), in the amount of $39,736.75. The R&R recited that
“the parties shall have fourteen days from service of this Report to file written objections,”
and that “[f]ailure to file a timely objection to this Report generally waives any further
judicial review.” R&R at 10.
The R&R was served on Pullini at its last known address on October 5, 2012,
making objections due on October 19th. To date, no objections have been filed.
If clear notice has been given of the consequences of failure to object, and
there are no objections, the Court may adopt the R&R without de novo review. See Thomas
v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 149-50 (1985); Mario v. P & C Food Mkts., Inc., 313 F.3d 758, 766 (2d Cir.
2002) (“Where parties receive clear notice of the consequences, failure timely to object to
a magistrate’s report and recommendation operates as a waiver of further judicial review
of the magistrate’s decision.”). The Court will excuse the failure to object, however, and
conduct de novo review if it appears that the magistrate judge may have committed plain
error. See Spence v. Superintendent, Great Meadow Corr. Facility, 219 F.3d 162, 174 (2d Cir.
2000).
The R&R contains no error, let alone plain error. Accordingly, the Court
adopts it without de novo review. The Clerk shall enter judgment accordingly.
SO ORDERED.
