ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
Before the Court is Chief Magistrate Judge Diane K. Vescovo’s (“Chief Magistrate
Judge”) Report and Recommendation (“Report”) (ECF No. 20), filed October 24, 2017,
recommending the denial of Pro Se Plaintiff’s Motion for Judgment on the Pleadings because the
pleadings are not yet closed. For the following reasons, the Report is ADOPTED, and the
Motion is DENIED.
A magistrate judge may submit to a judge of the court recommendations for the
disposition of a motion for judgment on the pleadings. 28 U.S.C. §§ 636(b)(1)(A)–(B). “Within
14 days after being served with a copy of the recommended disposition, a party may serve and
file specific written objections to the proposed findings and recommendations.” Fed. R. Civ. P.
72(b)(2); see also 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1). A district court reviews de novo only those proposed
findings of fact or conclusions of law to which a party specifically objects. Fed. R. Civ. P.
72(b)(2); see also Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b)(3).
Here, Chief Magistrate Judge Vescovo entered her Report on October 24, 2017,
recommending that this Court deny Plaintiff’s Motion for Judgment on the Pleadings. (ECF No.

20.) Plaintiff has filed neither a proper objection nor anything that can be construed as an
objection to this Report, and the deadline to do so has now passed. Therefore, the Court has
reviewed the Report for clear error and finds none. The Court ADOPTS the Magistrate Judge’s
Report and DISMISSES Plaintiff’s Motion for Judgment on the Pleadings.
IT IS SO ORDERED, this 5th day of December, 2017.
