UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK
LAUREN GRIFFEN,
No. 11 Civ. 2008 (L TS)(RLE)
Plaintiff,
v.
C.B. RICHARD ELLIS GROUP INC.,
Defendant.

ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION

Pro se Plaintiff Lauren Griffen ("Plaintiff') brought this action seeking damages
against Defendant, c.B. Richard Ellis Group Inc. ("Defendant") for violations of Title VII of the Civil
Rights Act of 1964. On September 2, 2011, Magistrate Judge Ronald L. Ellis issued a Report and
Recommendation ("Report"), recommending that the complaint be dismissed without prejudice for
failure to prosecute pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(b). Neither party has made any
objection to the Report, and the time to do so has elapsed.
In reviewing a report and recommendation, a district court "may accept, reject, or
modify, in whole or in part, the findings or recommendations made by the magistrate judge." 28
U.S.c.A. § 636(b)(1)(c) (West 2008). "To accept the report and recommendation ofa magistrate, to
which no timely objection has been made, a district court need only satisfy itself that there is no clear
error on the face of the record." Wynn v. Lempke, No. 08 Civ. 3894(RJS), 2009 WL 1227362, at *2
(S.D.N.Y. May 5, 2009).
The Court has reviewed thoroughly Judge Ellis' Report and finds no clear error in his
recommendation. Accordingly, the Court accepts the Report. The complaint is hereby dismissed
without prejudice. The Court certifies pursuant to 28 U.S.c. § 1915(a)(3) that any appeal from this

this case.
