CIVIL ACTION NO. 9:16-cv-80

ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
OF UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
This case is assigned to the Honorable Zack Hawthorn, United States Magistrate Judge,
for pre-trial management. (Doc. No. 6). On October 26, 2017, Judge Hawthorn entered a report
(Doc. No. 31) recommending the court grant Plaintiff Wells Fargo Bank, As Trustee’s “Motion
to Dismiss Defendant’s Counterclaims Pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(B)(6).”
(Doc. No. 25). Defendant Dennis John Dorvee had the option to specifically object to findings
or recommendations in the report until November 13, 2017 (see Doc. No. 34), but no objection
was received. Dorvee did file two motions on November 13, 2017—“Motion Requesting Leave
to File Motion” (Doc. No. 35) and “Motion to Show Cause” (Doc. No. 36)—but those motions
are not objections to the magistrate judge’s report and recommendation, and those two motions
will be considered and decided separately from this order.
It is, therefore, ORDERED that the magistrate judge’s “Report and Recommendation”
(Doc. No. 31) is ADOPTED, and the Plaintiff’s “Motion to Dismiss Defendant’s
Counterclaims Pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(B)(6)” (Doc. No. 25) is
GRANTED. The Defendant’s recently filed motion requesting leave (Doc. No. 35) and motion

to show cause (Doc. No. 36) are not affected by this order.

So Ordered and Signed
