Vinson v. Ross et al

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN
SOUTHERN DIVISION
TRACEY ALEXANDER
VINSON,
Plaintiff,
v.
ROSS, et al.,
Defendants.
2:24-cv-12002-TGB-PTM
ORDER ADOPTING REPORT
AND RECOMMENDATION
(ECF No. 25)
This matter is before the Court on Magistrate Judge Patricia T.
Morris’s September 23, 2025 Report and Recommendation (ECF No. 25)
that Defendants’ Motion for Judgment on the Pleadings (ECF No. 17) be
granted and that the case be dismissed with prejudice.
The 	Court 	has 	reviewed 	Judge 	Morris’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
specifically objected 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 Judge Morris’s Report and
Case 2:24-cv-12002-TGB-PTM ECF No. 26, PageID.<pageID> Filed 10/20/25 Page 1 of 2

Recommendation of September 23, 2025, as its findings of fact and
conclusions of law.
Accordingly, it is hereby ORDERED that Judge Morris’s Report
and 	Recommendation 	of 	September 	23, 	2025 	(ECF 	No. 	25), 	is
ACCEPTED 	and 	ADOPTED. 	It 	is 	FURTHER 	ORDERED 	that
Defendants’ Motion for Judgment on the Pleadings (ECF No. 17) is
GRANTED and that the case is DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE.
SO ORDERED.
