UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT EASTERN DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN SOUTHERN DIVISION DEON GLENN, Plaintiff, Case Number 22-10883 v. Honorable David M. Lawson Magistrate Judge Elizabeth A. Stafford JODI MCCLELLAN and TERRI MASSEY, Defendants, _____________________________________/ ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION AND DENYING MOTION TO DISMISS Presently before the Court is the report issued on December 5, 2022 by Magistrate Judge Elizabeth A. Stafford pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b) recommending that the Court deny defendant Terri Massey’s motion to dismiss. The deadline for filing objections to the report has passed, and no objections have been filed. The defendant’s failure to file objections to the report and recommendation waives any further right to appeal. Smith v. Detroit Fed’n of Teachers Local 231, 829 F.2d 1370, 1373 (6th Cir. 1987). Likewise, the failure to object to the magistrate judge’s report releases the Court from its duty to independently review the matter. Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 149 (1985). However, the Court agrees with the findings and conclusions of the magistrate judge. Accordingly, it is ORDERED that the report and recommendation (ECF No. 21) is ADOPTED. It is further ORDERED that the motion to dismiss by defendant Terri Massey (ECF No. 17) is DENIED. It is further ORDERED that the case is returned to the magistrate judge for case management under the original order of reference (ECF No. 11). s/David M. Lawson DAVID M. LAWSON United States District Judge Dated: January 12, 2023
