Opinion

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT EASTERN DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN SOUTHERN DIVISION

Daniel McGough,

Plaintiff, Case No. 24-12580

v. Judith E. Levy United States District Judge Lincoln Consolidated Schools, et al., Mag. Judge Anthony P. Patti

Defendants.

________________________________/

ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION [32]

Before the Court is Magistrate Judge Anthony P. Patti’s Report and Recommendation (ECF No. 32) recommending the Court grant Defendants’ motion to dismiss (ECF No. 18.) The parties were required to file specific written objections, if any, within fourteen days of service. Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b)(2); E.D. Mich. LR 72.1(d). No objections were filed. The Court has nevertheless carefully reviewed the Report and Recommendation and concurs in the result. Additionally, the Court notes that Plaintiff has filed or removed to this Court nine other cases in less than one year, four of which have been dismissed. See McGough v. Gadwell, Case No. 24-12821 (dismissed); McGough v. Shackelford, Case No. 24-12820 (dismissed); McGough v.

McCloskey, Case No. 24-13350 (dismissed); McGough v. Clayton, Case No. 24-13456 (dismissed); McGough v. Conlin, Case No. 24-13352 (report

and recommendation to dismiss the complaint pending); Michigan v. McGough, Case No. 25-12440 (pending); Michigan v. McGough, Case No. 25-12441 (pending); McGough v. Washtenaw Cnty. Trial Ct., Case No. 25-

10571 (pending); McGough v. Washtenaw County, Case No. 25-11226 (pending). The Court warns Plaintiff that his conduct verges on abuse of the legal process and that filing duplicative or frivolous matters may

result in requirements prior to filing future cases or documents. The Report and Recommendation (ECF No. 32) is ADOPTED; and Defendants’ motion to dismiss (ECF No. 18) is GRANTED.1

IT IS SO ORDERED. Dated: September 3, 2025 s/Judith E. Levy Ann Arbor, Michigan JUDITH E. LEVY United States District Judge
