LASHANN DEARCY HALL, United States District Judge:

On August 10, 2017, United States Magistrate Judge Lois Bloom issued a report and
recommendation (the “Report and Recommendation”), wherein she recommended that this Court
dismiss this action pursuant to Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 16(f) and 37(b)(2)(A)(v) for
failure to comply with the Court’s orders and for Plaintiff’s abandonment of this action. (See R.
& R., ECF No. 19.) Any written objections to the Report and Recommendation had to be filed
with the Clerk of Court within fourteen (14) days of the date of service of the report. See Fed. R.
Civ. P. 72(b)(2); 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C). No objections have been filed.
Where no objections to a report and recommendation have been filed, “the district court
need only satisfy itself that there is no clear error on the face of the record.” Estate of Ellington
