ORDER
Pending before the Court is the Magistrate Judge’s Report and Recommendation, which
was filed on November 22, 2024. (Doc. No. 18). In the Report and Recommendation, the
Magistrate Judge recommends this action be dismissed without prejudice because Defendants have
not been served with process within the time set out in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 4(m). The
Magistrate Judge also recommends dismissal of this action under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure
41(b) due to Plaintiff’s failure to stay engaged in this lawsuit, provide a change of address notice,
or respond to two separate Show Cause Orders. (Doc. Nos. 15, 17).
Although the Report and Recommendation advised the parties that any objections must be
filed within fourteen days of service, 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.
This Order shall constitute the final judgment in this case pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 58,
and the Clerk is directed to close the file.
It is so ORDERED.
