Case No. 1:22-CV-33
MEMORANDUM ORDER
This action was received by the Clerk of Court on January 31, 2022. The matter was
referred to Chief United States Magistrate Judge Richard A. Lanzillo, for report and
recommendation in accordance with the Magistrate Judges Act, 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(l), and
Rules 72.1.3 and 72.1.4 of the Local Rules for Magistrate Judges.
On May 2, 2024, Chief Magistrate Judge Lanzillo issued a Report and Recommendation
recommending that Defendants' motion to dismiss for failure to prosecute be granted and that
Defendants' motion for summary judgment be denied as moot. ECF No. 63. Plaintiff was given
time to file objections to the Report and Recommendation, but none were filed.
"If a party objects timely to a magistrate judge's report and recommendation, the district
court must 'make a de nova determination of those portions of the report or specified proposed
findings or recommendations to which objection is made.'" EEOC v. City of Long Branch, 866
F.3d 93, 99 (3d Cir. 2017) quoting 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(l). Regardless of whether timely
objections are made, district courts may accept, reject, or modify-in whole or in part-

the magistrate judge's findings or recommendations. 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(l); Local Rule
72(D)(2).
