ORDER
This matter is before the Court for consideration of the November 15, 2011 Report and
Recommendation of the Magistrate Judge. (ECF No. 22.) The Magistrate Judge recommended
that the Court grant Plaintiff’s Second Motion to Strike Answer of Matthew Hughes.
The Report and Recommendation of the Magistrate Judge specifically advised the parties
that failure to object to the Report and Recommendation within fourteen days results in a “waiver
of the right to de novo review by the District Judge and waiver of the right to appeal the judgment
of the District Court.” (Report & Recommendation 3, ECF No. 22.) The time period for filing
objections to the Report and Recommendation has expired. No party has objected to the Report
and Recommendation.
The Court reviewed the Report and Recommendation of United States Magistrate Judge
Elizabeth A. Preston Deavers, to whom this case was referred pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b).
Noting that no objections have been filed and that the time for filing such objections has expired,
the Court ADOPTS the Report and Recommendation of the Magistrate Judge. Accordingly,

Plaintiff’s Motion to Strike is GRANTED. (ECF No. 21.) Mr. Hughes’ Answer is hereby
STRICKEN from the record. (ECF No. 9.)
IT IS SO ORDERED.
