Ruth Jones v. Lori Moore

Opinion

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF TENNESSEE EASTERN DIVISION

RUTH JONES,

Plaintiff,

v. No. 1:26-cv-01167-JDB-jay

LORI MOORE,

Defendant.

ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION AND DISMISSING CASE

Before the Court is the complaint filed by the Plaintiff, Ruth Jones, proceeding pro se. By Administrative Order, this matter was referred to the United States magistrate judge for management of all pretrial matters and for determination and/or report and recommendation. Admin. Order 2013-05. After reviewing the allegations, Magistrate Judge Jon A. York recommended dismissal. (Docket Entry (“D.E.”) 7 at PageID 22.) At the end of the Report and Recommendation, Judge York notified Plaintiff that, if she disagreed with the recommendation, she was required to file an objection or exception within fourteen days. (Id.) He added that “failure to file [an objection or exception] within fourteen (14) days may constitute a waiver and/or forfeiture of objections, exceptions, and any further appeal.” (Id. (emphasis omitted)). Jones has not objected to the Magistrate Judge’s report and recommendation and the time for doing so has expired. Consequently, she has forfeited her objections to the report and recommendation. See Berkshire v. Dahl, 928 F.3d 520, 530 (6th Cir. 2019) (quoting Kensu v. Haigh, 87 F.3d 172, 176 (6th Cir. 1996)). Accordingly, upon review of the record, the report and recommendation (D.E. 7) is ADOPTED, and the action is DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE. IT IS SO ORDERED this 18th day of August 2026. s/ J. DANIEL BREEN UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
