Case No. 1:17-cv-235
Judge Mattice
Magistrate Judge Steger

ORDER
On February 22, 2018, United States Magistrate Judge Christopher H. Steger filed a
Report and Recommendation [Doc. 3] pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1) and Federal Rule of
Civil Procedure 72(b). Magistrate Judge Steger recommended that this action be dismissed as
frivolous. [Id.]. Plaintiffs have not filed objections to the Magistrate Judge’s Report and
Recommendation.1 Nevertheless, the Court has reviewed de novo the record in this matter, and
it agrees with the Magistrate Judge’s well-reasoned conclusions. Accordingly, the Court
ACCEPTS and ADOPTS Magistrate Judge Steger’s findings of fact and conclusions of law.
Plaintiffs’ claim is hereby DISMISSED. A separate judgment will enter.

SO ORDERED this 27th day of August, 2014.

UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE

Magistrate Judge Steger specifically advised Plaintiffs they had 14 days in which to object to the Report
and Recommendation and that failure to do so would waive his right to appeal. [Doc. 3]; see Fed. R. Civ.
P. 72(b)(2); see also Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 148-51 (1985) (noting that “[i]t does not appear that
Congress intended to require district court review of a magistrate's factual or legal conclusions, under a de
novo or any other standard, when neither party objects to those findings”).
