No. 1:14-cv-2298
(Judge Rambo)

ORDER
Before the Court for disposition is Magistrate Judge Martin C. Carlson’s
Report and Recommendation (ECF No. 178), which recommends denying pro se
Plaintiff William Samuel McLean Jr.’s motions seeking to reopen the abovecaptioned case (Doc. Nos. 169, 170) and requesting other relief (Doc. Nos. 172, 173,
174). Plaintiff received three (3) extensions of time to file objections to the Report
and Recommendation. (Doc. Nos. 181, 184, 186). Objections to the Report and
Recommendation were due on or before June 19, 2019, but no such objections have
been filed.
In considering whether to adopt the Report and Recommendation, the Court
should, as a matter of good practice, “satisfy itself that there is no clear error on the
face of the record in order to accept the recommendation.” Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b),
advisory committee notes; see also Univac Dental Co. v. Dentsply Intern., Inc., 702
F. Supp. 2d 465, 469 (M.D. Pa. 2010) (explaining that judges should review

dispositive legal issues raised by the report for clear error).

Following an

independent review of the record, the Court is satisfied that the Report and
Recommendation contains no clear error and will therefore adopt the Report and
Recommendation to deny Plaintiff’s various motions. Accordingly, on this 26th
day of June 2019, IT IS ORDERED THAT:
1.

The Report and Recommendation (ECF No. 178) is ADOPTED;

2.

Plaintiff’s various motions for relief (Doc. Nos. 169, 170, 172, 173,
174) are DENIED; and

3.

The above-captioned case shall remain CLOSED.
