UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT EASTERN DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN SOUTHERN DIVISION

ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION (ECF NO. 9) AND DISMISSING CASE

Pro se plaintiff Gregory J. Gallant filed this complaint on March 30, 2022 against defendants Jon A. Gallant, Jr., Thomas P. Gallant, Sheila Gallant Mitchell, and Edison B. Hass. ECF No. 1. This Court granted Gallant permission to proceed in forma pauperis. ECF No. 4. The case was referred to the magistrate judge for all pretrial matters pursuant to

(b). ECF No. 8. On October 3, 2022, the magistrate judge issued a Report and Recommendation (R&R). ECF No. 9. The R&R recommends that the Court DISMISS Gallant’s complaint sua sponte for failure to state a claim pursuant to

(e)(2)B). Page 1 of 2 No party has filed an objection to the R&R. The failure to object to conclusions in the magistrate judge’s report releases the Court from its duty

to independently review those issues. See Thomas v. Arn,

(1985). The Court has reviewed the record and ADOPTS the R&R as the

findings and conclusions of the Court. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that this case is DISMISSED. s/Shalina D. Kumar SHALINA D. KUMAR Dated: November 8, 2022 United States District Judge
