Sedore v. Landfair ( 2022 )

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT EASTERN DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN SOUTHERN DIVISION Case No. 21-cv-12935 SCOTT SEDORE, Nancy G. Edmunds United States District Judge Plaintiff, Jonathan J.C. Grey v. United States Magistrate Judge NIGEL WYCKOFF, et al., Defendants. _______________________________/ ORDER ACCEPTING AND ADOPTING MAGISTRATE JUDGE’S REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION [32] This matter is before the Court on the Magistrate Judge's September 2, 2022 Report and Recommendation. (ECF No. 32.) The Magistrate Judge recommends that the Court deny without prejudice Plaintiff’s motions for summary judgment (ECF Nos. 23, 25) and grant Plaintiff’s motion to voluntarily dismiss Defendants Nigel Wyckoff and Jane/John Doe (ECF No. 26). No objections have been filed. “[T]he failure to object to the magistrate judge’s report[] releases the Court from its duty to independently review the matter.” Hall v. Rawal, 09-10933, 2012 WL 3639070, at *1 (E.D. Mich. Aug. 24, 2012) (citing Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140 (1985)). Nevertheless, the Court has reviewed the pleadings and relevant authority and finds it agrees with the Magistrate Judge’s reasoning and conclusions. The Court therefore ACCEPTS and ADOPTS the Magistrate Judge’s report and recommendation (ECF No. 32). Plaintiff’s motions for summary judgment (ECF Nos. 23, 25) are DENIED WITHOUT PREJUDICE and Plaintiff’s motion to voluntarily dismiss Defendants Nigel Wyckoff and Jane/John Doe (ECF No. 26) is GRANTED. SO ORDERED. s/Nancy G. Edmunds Nancy G. Edmunds United States District Judge Dated: September 29, 2022 I hereby certify that a copy of the foregoing document was served upon counsel of record on September 29, 2022, by electronic and/or ordinary mail. s/Lisa Bartlett Case Manager
