PRO SE
MAE A. D’AGOSTINO, U. S. DISTRICT JUDGE
ORDER
The above matter comes to me following a Report-Recommendation by Magistrate Judge
Christian F. Hummel, duly filed on the 22nd day of January 2013. Following fourteen (14) days
from the service thereof, the Clerk has sent me the file. Plaintiff has not filed any objections to
the Report-Recommendation.1
A litigant's failure to file objections to a magistrate judge's report and recommendation,
even when that litigant is proceeding pro se, waives any challenge to the report on appeal. See
Cephas v. Nash, 328 F.3d 98, 107 (2d Cir. 2003) (holding that, "[a]s a rule, a party's failure to
object to any purported error or omission in a magistrate judge's report waives further judicial

review of the point" (citation omitted)). A pro se litigant must be given notice of this rule; notice
is sufficient if it informs the litigant that the failure to file a timely objection will result in the
waiver of further judicial review and cites the pertinent statutory and civil rules authority. See
Frank v. Johnson, 968 F.2d 298, 299 (2d Cir. 1992); Small v. Sec'y of Health and Human Servs.,
892 F.2d 15, 16 (2d Cir. 1989) (holding that a pro se party's failure to object to a report and
recommendation does not waive his right to appellate review unless the report explicitly states
that failure to object will preclude appellate review and specifically cites 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)
and Rules 72, 6(a), and former 6(e) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure).
After careful review of all of the papers herein, including the Magistrate Judge’s ReportRecommendation, and no objections submitted thereto, it is
ORDERED that:
1. The Report-Recommendation is hereby adopted in its entirety.
2. The Clerk is directed to close the case.
3. The Clerk of the Court shall serve a copy of this Order upon all parties and the
Magistrate Judge assigned to this case.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
