MAGISTRATE JUDGE

ORDER
Pending before the Court is the Magistrate Judge’s Report and Recommendation,
recommending Plaintiff’s case be dismissed without prejudice. (Doc. No. 32).
On July 30, 2018, the Magistrate Judge entered an order requiring Plaintiff to file with the
Court within 14 days a written explanation showing cause for his failure to serve Defendants within
90 days after the filing of the Complaint pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(m). (Doc. No. 31). Because
Plaintiff failed to file a written explanation, the Magistrate Judge recommends his case be
dismissed without prejudice. (Id.). The Magistrate Judge advised the parties that any objections to
the Report and Recommendation must be filed within fourteen days of service, and no objections
were filed.
The Court has reviewed the Report and Recommendation and concludes that it should be
adopted and approved. Accordingly, this action is DISMISSED without prejudice, and the Clerk
is directed to close the file.
It is so ORDERED.
