UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
MIDDLE DISTRICT OF TENNESSEE
NASHVILLE DIVISION
CHARLES A. DICKERSON,
Plaintiff,

Case No. 3:15-cv-00238
Hon. Denise Page Hood

v.
MEGAN E. MILLER et al.,
Defendants.
_________________________________/
ORDER ACCEPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
AND DISMISSING ACTION WITHOUT PREJUDICE
This matter comes before the Court on Magistrate Judge Alistair E. Newbern’s
Report and Recommendation. [#10] Pro se Plaintiff filed this action on March 12,
2015, but he has not taken any action since then. The Magistrate Judge recommends
that the Court dismiss Plaintiff’s cause of action, without prejudice, for failure to
prosecute and obey Court orders. Neither party filed an objection to the Report and
Recommendation.
The Court has had an opportunity to review this matter and finds that the
Magistrate Judge reached the correct conclusions for the proper reasons. Finding no
error in the Magistrate Judge’s Report and Recommendation, the Court adopts the
Report and Recommendation in its entirety. Furthermore, as neither party has raised
an objection to the Report and Recommendation, the Court finds that the parties have

waived any further objections to the Report and Recommendation. Smith v. Detroit
Fed’n of Teachers Local 231, 829 F.2d 1370, 1373 (6th Cir. 1987) (a party’s failure
to file any objections waives his or her right to further appeal); Thomas v. Arn, 474
U.S. 140, 149 (1985).
For the reasons stated above,
IT IS ORDERED that the Report and Recommendation [Docket No. 10, filed
February 20, 2018] is ADOPTED as this Court’s findings of fact and conclusions of
law.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that this action is DISMISSED WITHOUT
PREJUDICE.

DATED: March 19, 2018
