_____________________________________________________________________________
On May 7, 2013, the Plaintiff, Mountain Laurel Assurance Company., filed a motion for
default judgment against Defendant, Jesse Daniel Scott Salinas. (Docket Entry (“D.E.”) 20.) The
Court referred the motion to United States Magistrate Judge Edward G. Bryant for a report and
recommendation. (D.E. 21.) On June 18, 2013, Judge Bryant issued a report and recommendation
finding that the Plaintiff is “entitled to a decree that Plaintiff’s relief sought in the Complaint, as
against Salinas is granted. Salinas is not entitled to receive further notice of hearings or service of
documents in this cause, to present a defense in this cause, or otherwise to contest the issues
involved in this cause.” (D.E. 26.)
According to the Court’s docket, no objections to the Magistrate Judge’s report and
recommendation have been filed pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C), and the time for filing
objections has passed. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b). After a review of the Magistrate Judge’s report and
recommendation, the Court ADOPTS Judge Bryant’s findings and recommendations, and the motion
for default judgment against Defendant, Salinas, is GRANTED.
IT IS SO ORDERED this 15th day of July, 2013.
