OPINION AND ORDER ACCEPTING AND ADOPTING THE MAGISTRATE JUDGE’S SEPTEMBER 25, 2024 REPORTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS (ECF Nos. 22 and 23)

Currently before the court are two Reports and Recommendations issued by Magistrate Judge David R. Grand and September 25, 2024. (ECF Nos. 22, 23). Magistrate Judge Grand recommends denying Plaintiff’s motion for default judgment (ECF No. 22) and granting Defendants’ motion to dismiss the complaint. (ECF No. 23). The court is fully advised in the premises and has reviewed the record and the pleadings. Neither party has filed objections. “[T]he failure to object to the magistrate judge’s report[] releases the Court from its duty to independently review the matter.” Hall v. Rawal, 2012 WL 3639070 (E.D. Mich. Aug. 24, 2012) (citing Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 149 (1985)). The court nevertheless agrees with the Magistrate Judge’s recommended disposition. Therefore, the court ACCEPTS and ADOPTS the Magistrate Judge’s Reports and

Recommendations (ECF Nos. 22 and 23), DENIES Plaintiff’s motion for default judgment (ECF No. 19), GRANTS Defendants’ motion to dismiss the complaint (ECF No. 10), and DISMISSES the complaint with prejudice. This is a final order

and CLOSES the case. SO ORDERED. Date: October 28, 2024 s/F. Kay Behm F. Kay Behm United States District Judge
