Civil No. 3:10-1157
Judge Trauger
Magistrate Judge Bryant
ORDER
On April 17, 2012, the Magistrate Judge issued a Report and Recommendation (Docket
No. 55), to which the plaintiff filed an Objection (Docket No. 61), to which the defendant filed a
Response (Docket No. 63).
When a magistrate judge issues a report and recommendation regarding a dispositive
pretrial matter, the district court must review de novo any portion of the report and
recommendation to which a specific objection is made. Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b); 28 U.S.C. §
636(b)(1)(C); United States v. Curtis, 237 F.3d 598, 603 (6th Cir. 2001); Massey v. City of
Ferndale, 7 F.3d 506, 510 (6th Cir. 1993). Objections must be specific; an objection to the
report in general is not sufficient, and will result in waiver of further review. See Miller v.
Currie, 50 F.3d 373, 380 (6th Cir. 1995).
The Objection filed by the plaintiff can only be considered a general objection to the
Magistrate Judge’s recommendation and does not identify any factual or legal reason why the
court should reject the recommendation of the Magistrate Judge, which is based upon thorough
1
and competent analysis of the issues. The plaintiff’s Objection appears to simply re-argue the
issues before the Magistrate Judge, rather than object to specific findings made by him.
For the reasons expressed herein, the plaintiff’s Objection is OVERRULED. The
Report and Recommendation is ACCEPTED and made the findings of fact and conclusions of
law of this court. For the reasons expressed therein, it is hereby ORDERED that the defendant’s
Motion For Summary Judgment (Docket No. 39) is GRANTED, and this case is DISMISSED
WITH PREJUDICE. This Order will constitute the final judgment in this case.
It is so ORDERED.
Enter this 29th day of May 2012.
