Defendants. __________________________________/

OPINION AND ORDER ADOPTING MAGISTRATE JUDGE’S DECEMBER 2, 2025 REPORT & RECOMMENDATION AND SUA SPONTE DISMISSING THE INDIVIDUAL DEFENDANTS

Plaintiff commenced this employment discrimination lawsuit against Defendants on July 15, 2025. (ECF No. 1.) The matter has been assigned to Magistrate Judge Elizabeth A. Stafford for all pretrial proceedings, including a hearing and determination of all non-dispositive matters pursuant to

(b)(1)(A) and/or a report and recommendation on all dispositive matters pursuant to

(b)(1)(B). (ECF No. 8.) On October 23, 2025, Magistrate Judge Stafford issued an order requiring Plaintiff to show cause as to why his claims against the remaining individual Defendants in this matter (Roger Young, Richard Roser, Avadhesh Agarwal, and Bala Palanisamy) should not be dismissed pursuant to Wathen v. Electric Company,

, 405 (6th Cir.

1997). (ECF No. 20.) The deadline for Plaintiff to respond to the show cause order was November 11, 2025. Plaintiff timely responded, indicating that he would like to withdraw his

claims against the individuals. (ECF No. 21.) Therefore, on December 2, 2025, Magistrate Judge Stafford issued a Report and Recommendation (R&R) recommending that Plaintiff’s claims against them be dismissed. (ECF No. 22.) At the conclusion of the R&R, Magistrate Judge Stafford advises the parties

that they may object to and seek review of the R&R within fourteen days of service upon them. She further specifically advises the parties that “[f]ailure to file specific objections constitutes a waiver of any further right to appeal.” (Id.)

Neither party filed objections to the R&R. The Court has carefully reviewed the R&R and concurs with the conclusions reached by Magistrate Judge Stafford. The Court therefore adopts the R&R. Accordingly,

IT IS ORDERED that Plaintiff’s claims against Defendants Roger Young, Richard Roser, Avadhesh Agarwal, and Bala Palanisamy are DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE and these individuals are TERMINATED from this action. s/ Linda V. Parker LINDA V. PARKER U.S. DISTRICT JUDGE Dated: December 22, 2025 I hereby certify that a copy of the foregoing document was mailed to counsel of record and/or pro se parties on this date, December 22, 2025, by electronic and/or U.S. First Class mail.
