CASE NO. 4:18CV1141
JUDGE CHRISTOPHER A. BOYKO

MEMORANDUM OF OPINION
AND ORDER

CHRISTOPHER A. BOYKO, J:
This matter is before the Court on Magistrate Judge James R. Knepp’s Report and
Recommendation (Doc. 35) to Grant Respondents’ Motion to Dismiss Improper Respondents.
(Doc. 9). Objections to the Report and Recommendation were due by March 18, 2019.
Petitioner did not object to the Motion to Dismiss, nor has he filed an objection to the Report and
Recommendation.
Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 72(b) provides that objections to a report and
recommendation must be filed within fourteen days after service. FED. R. CIV. P. 72(b)(2).
Petitioner has failed to timely file any such objections. Therefore, the Court must assume that
Petitioner is satisfied with the Magistrate Judge’s recommendation. Any further review by this
Court would be duplicative and an inefficient use of the Court’s limited resources. Thomas v.
Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 155 (1985); United States v. Walters, 638 F.2d 947, 949-50 (6th Cir. 1981).

Accordingly, the Court ADOPTS the Report and Recommendation of the Magistrate
Judge and GRANTS Respondents’ Motion to Dismiss Improper Defendants. Pursuant to
Federal Rule of Procedure 21, the Court dismisses Respondents Christopher J. LaRose, Michael
V. Bernacke, Thomas Homan, and Kirstjen M. Nielsen from the case.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
