CASE NO. 1:12CV2779

JUDGE CHRISTOPHER A. BOYKO

ORDER

This Court has reviewed the Report and Recommendation (Doc.#69) of Magistrate
Judge Baughman regarding Plaintiff’s Motion for Default Judgment against Defendant
Regal Auto Body and Service, Incorporated ("Regal")(Doc.#44). The Magistrate Judge
recommends that Plaintiff’s Motion be granted. Defendant has not filed any objections to
the Report and Recommendation.
FED. R. CIV.P. 72(b) provides that objections to a Report and Recommendation
must be filed within fourteen days after service, but Defendant has failed to timely file any
such objections. Therefore, the Court must assume that Defendant is satisfied with the
Magistrate Judge’s recommendation.

Any further review by this Court would be a

duplicative and inefficient use of the Court’s limited resources. Thomas v. Arn, 728 F.2d
813 (6th Cir. 1984), aff’d, 474 U.S. 140 (1985); Howard v. Secretary of Health and Human
Services, 932 F.2d 505 (6th Cir. 1991); United States v. Walters, 638 F.2d 947 (6th
Cir.1981).

Therefore, the Court adopts in full the Report and Recommendation (Doc.#69 ) and
grants Plaintiff’s Motion for Default Judgment against Regal, as to liability only.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
Dated: 2/6/2014
