Opinion
Case No. 11-10609
09-06-2012
ERIC KING, Plaintiff, v. FERROUS PROCESSING AND TRADING COMPANY, and INTERNATIONAL BROTHERHOOD OF TEAMSTERS, Defendants.
Honorable David M. Lawson
ORDER ADOPTING MAGISTRATE JUDGE'S REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION,
GRANTING DEFENDANTS' MOTIONS FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT AND
DISMISSING COMPLAINT WITH PREJUDICE
Presently before the Court is a report issued on August 16, 2012 by Magistrate Judge Michael J. Hluchaniuk pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b) recommending that this Court grant the defendants' motions for summary judgment. Although the magistrate judge's reports explicitly stated that the parties to this action may object to and seek review of the recommendation within fourteen days of service of the report, no objections have been filed thus far. The parties' failure to file objections to the reports and recommendations 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 reports 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 magistrate judge's report and recommendation [dkt. #69] is ADOPTED.
It is further ORDERED that defendant Ferrous Processing and Trading Company's motion for summary judgment [dkt. #46] is GRANTED.
It is further ORDERED that defendant International Brotherhood of Teamsters's motion for summary judgment [dkt. #53] is GRANTED.
It is further ORDERED that the plaintiff's complaint DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE.
