Case No. 06-cv-10075
05-17-2017
United States of America, Plaintiff, v. Bernard E. Henry, Defendant.
Mag. Judge R. Steven Whalen ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION [26] AND DENYING AS MOOT REQUEST FOR HEARING [16]
Before the Court is defendant Bernard E. Henry's request for a hearing on a writ of garnishment in this post-judgment student loan case, and the Magistrate Judge's Report and Recommendation that recommends denying the request as moot. (Dkts. 16, 26.)
The parties were required to file specific written objections within 14 days of service. Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b)(2); E.D. Mich. L.R. 72.1(d). No objections were filed. The failure to object to the Report and Recommendation waives any further right to appeal. Smith v. Detroit Fed'n of Teachers Local 231, 829 F.2d 1370, 1373 (6th Cir. 1987). The failure to object also relieves this Court from its duty to review this matter independently. Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 149 (1985). The Court has nonetheless thoroughly reviewed the Report and Recommendation, defendant's request, and the record as a whole, and agrees with the findings and conclusions of the Magistrate Judge.
Accordingly, the Report and Recommendation (Dkt. 26) is ADOPTED.
Defendant's request for a hearing (Dkt. 16) is DENIED AS MOOT.
IT IS SO ORDERED. Dated: May 17, 2017
