ORDER
On March 8, 2012, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b) and Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b), United States
Magistrate Judge William B. Carter filed a report and recommendation (“R&R”) in this case (Court
File No. 11). In the R&R, Judge Carter recommended Plaintiff Pennsylvania Higher Education
Assistance Agency (“Plaintiff”)’s motion for default judgment (Court File No. 7) be denied. The
R&R also recommends Plaintiff be given a reasonable time to amend its complaint to clarify how
and why Plaintiff is entitled to obtain judgment for Defendant Nancy J. Reinhart (“Defendant”)’s
default, if any. Neither party has objected to the R&R within the given 14 days.
After reviewing the record, this Court agrees with the R&R. The Court hereby ACCEPTS
and ADOPTS the magistrate judge’s findings of fact, conclusions of law, and recommendations.
Accordingly, the Court DENIES Plaintiff’s motion for default judgment (Court File No. 7). The
Court hereby GRANTS Plaintiff thirty days from the issuance of this order to amend its complaint
to clarify how and why Plaintiff is entitled to obtain judgment for Defendant’s default, if any.
SO ORDERED.
