Ludington United States District Judge JOHN DOE et al., Honorable Patricia T. Morris Defendants. United States Magistrate Judge _______________________________________/ ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION AND DISMISSING CASE On August 30, 2022, John J. Stapleton brought claims under six federal statutes and the United Nations Charter of Rights against 12 defendants. ECF No. 1.1 The case was referred to Magistrate Judge Patricia T. Morris. ECF No. 6. On October 6, 2022, Judge Morris recommended that this Court sua sponte dismiss the Complaint. R&R, ECF No. 21 (“I conclude that Plaintiff has failed to state a plausible or non-frivolous claim . . . .”). The R&R states that the parties may object to and seek review of the R&R within 14 days of service, but neither party filed any objections.2 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 Plaintiff’s Objection, ECF No. 9, is OVERRULED, the Report and Recommendation, ECF No. 8, is ADOPTED, and Plaintiff’s Complaint, ECF No. 1, is DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE. Dated: October 25, 2022 s/Thomas L. Ludington THOMAS L. LUDINGTON United States District Judge 1 This case might be related to another case Plaintiff filed. See Austin v. Stapleton, No. 1:22-CV- 11895, 2022 WL 4286847 (E.D. Mich. Sept. 15, 2022). But that will not explored here. 2 Plaintiff filed an objection, but it is illegible and incomprehensible. See generally ECF No. 9.
