Alexander v. Wade ( 2023 )

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT EASTERN DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN SOUTHERN DIVISION ISAAC ALEXANDER, Plaintiff, No. 21-12369 v. Honorable Nancy G. Edmunds Magistrate Judge Anthony P. Patti DATTAHN JAMAL WADE, Defendant. _________________________________/ ORDER ACCEPTING AND ADOPTING MAGISTRATE JUDGE’S REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION [63] This matter is before the Court on the Magistrate Judge's May 9, 2023 Report and Recommendation. (ECF No. 63.) The Magistrate Judge recommends that the Court deny Defendant’s Motion for Partial Summary Judgment. (ECF No. 26.) Neither party filed objections and the time for doing so has expired. “[T]he failure to object to the magistrate judge’s report[] releases the Court from its duty to independently review the matter.” Hall v.

Nevertheless, the Court reviewed the Magistrate Judge’s report and finds it agrees with the Magistrate Judge’s recommendation. The Court therefore ACCEPTS and ADOPTS the Magistrate Judge’s report and recommendation (ECF No. 63) and DENIES Defendants’ Motion For Partial Summary Judgment (ECF No. 26.). SO ORDERED. s/ Nancy G.
