Daly, recommending that Plaintiff’s case be dismissed with prejudice for failure to comply with Magistrate Judge Daly’s orders to file an amended complaint and failure to respond to a Show Cause Order (Doc. 13). The R&R was entered on January 30, 2024. No objections have been filed. For the reasons stated below, the Court ADOPTS the R&R. Where neither timely nor specific objections to the R&R are made, this Court need not conduct a de novo review. See Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140 (1985). Instead, the Court should review the R&R for clear error. Johnson v. Zema Systems Corp., 170 F.3d 734, 739 (7th Cir. 1999). The Court may then “accept, reject, or modify, in whole or in part, the findings or recommendations made by the magistrate judge.” 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1). The Court has carefully reviewed Judge Daly’s Report and Recommendation. Plaintiff’s Complaint was dismissed without prejudice as being time-barred. Plaintiff was granted leave to file an amended complaint on or before September 17, 2023, to allege a cause of action not barred by the statute of limitations. (Doc. 9). By October 11, 2023, Plaintiff had not filed an amended complaint, and Magistrate Judge Daly entered an Order to Show Cause, ordering Plaintiff to explain why this matter should not be dismissed for failure to prosecute. (Doc. 10). Plaintiff was warned that his failure to comply would result in this matter being dismissed with prejudice. Plaintiff did not comply with the Show Cause Order. Considering the applicable law and the record before the Court, the undersigned agrees with Magistrate Judge Daly’s conclusion that Plaintiff’s action should be dismissed with prejudice for failure to prosecute an action and to comply with court orders. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b). Accordingly, the Court ADOPTS Magistrate Judge Daly’s Report and Recommendation (Doc. 13). This matter is DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE. The Court DIRECTS the Clerk to close the case and to enter judgment accordingly. SO ORDERED. Dated: March 26, 2024 s/David W. Dugan DAVID W. DUGAN United States District Judge
