DARYL COMMAGE,

Defendant. _________________________________/

OPINION AND ORDER ACCEPTING AND ADOPTING THE MAGISTRATE JUDGE’S OCTOBER 21, 2019 REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION [33]

Currently before the Court is the magistrate judge’s October 21, 2019 report and recommendation. (Dkt. 33.) The magistrate judge recommends that Defendant’s objection to the writ of garnishment in this case be denied as moot. The Court is fully advised in the premises and has reviewed the record and the pleadings. No 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, No. 09-10933,

, at *2 (E.D. Mich. Aug. 24, 2012) (citing Thomas v. Arn,

(1985)). The Court nevertheless agrees with the magistrate judge’s recommendation. The Court therefore ACCEPTS and ADOPTS the magistrate judge’s report and recommendation. Accordingly, Defendant’s objection to the writ of garnishment (dkt. 27) is DENIED as moot. SO ORDERED. s/Nancy G. Edmunds Nancy G. Edmunds United States District Judge
