UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT EASTERN DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN SOUTHERN DIVISION

ROBERT CARTER,

Plaintiff, Case No. 2:22-cv-12750

v. Honorable Susan K. DeClercq United States District Judge JASON QUAINTON and BRIAN ENRICI, Honorable Patricia T. Morris United States Magistrate Judge Defendants. ___________________________________/

ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION (ECF No. 68), GRANTING DEFENDANTS’ MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT (ECF No. 58), AND DENYING PLAINTIFF’S MOTIONS TO REOPEN DISCOVERY (ECF Nos. 65; 66)

On February 4, 2025, Magistrate Judge Patricia T. Morris issued a report recommending that this Court (1) grant Defendants Jason Quainton and Brian Enrici’s joint Motion for Summary Judgment, ECF No. 58; and (2) deny Plaintiff Robert Carter’s two motions to reopen discovery, ECF Nos. 65, 66. See ECF No. 68. Judge Morris provided 14 days for objections to be filed, but no party filed objections. They have therefore forfeited their right to appeal Judge Morris’s findings. See Berkshire v. Dahl,

, 530–31 (6th Cir. 2019) (citing Thomas v. Arn,

(1985)). Moreover, there is no prejudicial clear error in the report. Accordingly, it is ORDERED that the Report and Recommendation, ECF No. 68, is ADOPTED.

Further, it is ORDERED that Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss, ECF No. 58, is GRANTED. Further, it is ORDERED that Plaintiff’s Motions to Reopen Discovery, ECF

Nos. 65; 66, are DENIED. This is a final order and closes the above-captioned case. /s/Susan K. DeClercq SUSAN K. DeCLERCQ United States District Judge Dated: March 3, 2025
