West-Bowlson v. Sun West Mortgage Company, Inc

Opinion

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT EASTERN DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN SOUTHERN DIVISION ROSEMARY WEST-BOWLSON, 2:23-CV-12105-TGB-EAS Plaintiff, HON. TERRENCE G. BERG vs. ORDER ADOPTING REPORT SUN WEST MORTGAGE AND RECOMMENDATION COMPANY, INC., (ECF NO. 44) Defendant. This matter is before the Court on Magistrate Judge Elizabeth A. Stafford’s April 29, 2025, Report and Recommendation, ECF No. 44, recommending that Defendant Sun West Mortgage Company, Inc.’s Motion for Summary Judgment, ECF No. 41, be GRANTED. The Court has reviewed Magistrate Judge Stafford’s Report and Recommendation and finds that it is well-reasoned and supported by the applicable law. The law provides that either party may serve and file written objections “[w]ithin fourteen days after being served with a copy” of the report and recommendation. 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1). The district court will make a “de novo determination of those portions of the report … to which objection is made.” Id. Where, as here, neither party has lodged objections to the report, the district court is not obligated to independently review the record. See Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 149-52 (1985). The Court will, therefore, accept Magistrate Judge Stafford’s April 29, 2025 Report and

Recommendation as this Court’s findings of fact and conclusions of law. Accordingly, it is hereby ORDERED that Magistrate Judge Stafford’s Report and Recommendation, ECF No. 44, is ACCEPTED and ADOPTED. It is FURTHER ORDERED that Sun West’s Motion for Summary Judgment, ECF No. 41, is GRANTED and this case is DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE. This is a final order that closes the case.

IT IS SO ORDERED. Dated: May 21, 2025 /s/Terrence G. Berg HON. TERRENCE G. BERG UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
