Hon. Brenda K. Sannes, United States District Judge:
MEMORANDUM-DECISION AND ORDER
On November 17, 2016, Plaintiff Richard Livingston commenced this civil rights action
under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 against, inter alia, Onondaga County Assistant District Attorney Mike
Ferrante. Dkt. No. 1. Plaintiff filed an Amended Complaint (Dkt. No. 14), following a Report,
Recommendation and Order by Magistrate Judge David E. Peebles recommending that the
Complaint be dismissed with leave to replead. Dkt. No. 9. The Amended Complaint was
thereafter referred to Magistrate Judge Peebles for review. Dkt. No. 19. Magistrate Judge
Peebles issued a Report and Recommendation on May 30, 2017 recommending that Plaintiff’s
Amended Complaint be dismissed in its entirety without leave to replead. Dkt. No. 20.

Magistrate Judge Peebles advised the parties that under 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1), they had fourteen
days within which to file written objections to the report, and that the failure to object to the
report within fourteen days would preclude appellate review. Dkt. No. 20, pp. 14-15.
No objections to the Report and Recommendation have been filed.
As no objections to the Report and Recommendation have been filed, and the time for
filing objections has expired, the Court reviews the Report and Recommendation for clear error.
See Petersen v. Astrue, 2 F. Supp. 3d 223, 228-29 (N.D.N.Y. 2012); Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b)
advisory committee’s note to 1983 amendment. Having reviewed the Report and
Recommendation for clear error and found none, it is adopted in its entirety.
For these reasons, it is
ORDERED that the Report and Recommendation (Dkt. No. 20) is ADOPTED in its
entirety; and it is further
ORDERED that Plaintiff’s Amended Complaint (Dkt. No. 14) is DISMISSED, in its
entirety, without leave to replead; and it is further
ORDERED that the Clerk serve a copy of this Order upon the parties in accordance with
the Local Rules.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
Dated: June 27, 2017
