KARL HEINZ-WRIGHT,
Plaintiff,
ORDER
15-CV-3269 (RRM) (VMS)

- against THE CITY OF NEW YORK, et al.,
Defendants.
------------------------------------------------------------------X
ROSLYNN R. MAUSKOPF, United States District Judge.

On September 10, 2015, plaintiff Karl Heinz-Wright requested a pre-motion conference
seeking to amend his complaint. (Letter Requesting Pre-Mot. Conference (Doc. No. 11).) By
Order entered October 30, 2015, this Court referred that request and any associated motion to the
assigned Magistrate Judge, the Honorable Vera M. Scanlon. Judge Scanlon ordered full briefing on
the issue. (See Mot. to Amend/Correct/Suppl. Pl.’s Compl. (Doc. No. 17); Def. Mot. in Opp. (Doc.
No. 18); Pl. Suppl. Mot. (Doc. No. 25); Def. Reply in Opp. (Doc. No. 27).)
On June 3, 2016, Judge Scanlon issued a Report and Recommendation (the “R&R”)
recommending that Heinz-Wright’s motion be denied. Judge Scanlon reminded the parties that,
pursuant to Rule 72(b), any objections to the R&R were due by June 20, 2016. No party has filed
any objection.
Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b) and Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 72, the Court has
reviewed the R&R for clear error and, finding none, concurs with the R&R in its entirety. See
Covey v. Simonton, 481 F. Supp. 2d 224, 226 (E.D.N.Y. 2007).
Accordingly, and for the reasons set forth by Magistrate Judge Scanlon in her thorough and
well-reasoned R&R, i Heinz-Wright’s motion to amend (Doc. Nos. 17, 25) is denied.

SO ORDERED.
