including notice that the parties would waive further appeal if they failed to file objections to
the Report and Recommendation in a timely manner. United States v. Walters, 638 F.2d

Accordingly, it is ORDERED that the Report and Recommendation (Doc. 17) of the

Dismiss (Doc. 5) is GRANTED and shall be terminated from the docket; the Motions of
Defendants Snope Services, Inc., and of Utility Outsource Services, Inc., to Dismiss or for
a More Definite Statement (Docs. 8 and 12) are DENIED AS MOOT.
It is further ordered that the referral assigned to the Magistrate Judge be removed
and that the assignment be held for referral purposes only.
As the Amended Complaint (Doc. 16) and Answer (Doc. 18) have been filed, this
matter shall proceed for a scheduling conference. Pursuant to the civil procedures of the
undersigned, a Rule 26(f) Report is due by July 25, 2012; and a Scheduling Conference
