UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT EASTERN DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN NORTHERN DIVISION DOTTIS LAMAR LIPSEY, Plaintiff/Counter-Defendant, Case No. 1:22-cv-10471 v. Honorable Thomas L. Ludington United States District Judge 74th JUDICIAL CIRCUIT COURT and GOWER LAW, Honorable Patricia T. Morris United States Magistrate Judge Defendants/Counter-Plaintiffs. ______________________________________/ ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION AND DISMISSING PLAINTIFF’S COMPLAINT WITH PREJUDICE This matter is before this Court on Magistrate Judge Patricia T. Morris’s Report and Recommendation (“R&R”) to sua sponte dismiss Plaintiff’s Complaint. ECF No. 11. Although the R&R states that the parties could object to and seek review of the recommendation within 14 days of service, neither Plaintiff nor Defendants filed any objections. They have therefore waived their right to appeal Judge Morris’s findings. See Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 149 (1985). Accordingly, it is ORDERED that Magistrate Judge Morris’s Report and Recommendation, ECF No. 6, is ADOPTED. Further, it is ORDERED that Plaintiff’s Complaint, ECF No. 1, is DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE. This is not a final order and does not close the case. Dated: July 20, 2022 s/Thomas L. Ludington THOMAS L. LUDINGTON United States District Judge
