White v. New York City Police Department (N.Y.P.D.)
White v. New York City Police Department (N.Y.P.D.)
Trial Court Opinion
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK DEVIN WHITE, Plaintiff, 19 Civ. 7945 (PAE) (SLC) ~ ORDER NEW YORK CITY POLICE DEPARTMENT et al., Respondents.
PAUL A. ENGELMAYER, District Judge: Pro se plaintiff Devin White filed the complaint on August 22, 2019. Dkt. 2. On September 30, 2019, this Court referred the case to the Hon. Sarah L. Cave. Dkt. 8. On August 14, 2020, after White had been admonished numerous times to amend the complaint and otherwise respond to the Court’s orders—which he had not done—Judge Cave issued her Report and Recommendation recommending dismissal of the case for failure to prosecute. Dkt. 40 (“Report”). DISCUSSION In reviewing a Report and Recommendation, a district court “may accept, reject, or modify, in whole or in part, the findings or recommendations made by the magistrate judge.”
28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C). “To accept those portions of the report to which no timely objection has been made, a district court need only satisfy itself that there is no clear error on the face of the record.” Ruiz v. Citibank, N.A., No. 10 Civ. 5950 (KPF),
2014 WL 4635575, at *2 (S.D.N.Y. Aug. 19, 2014) (quoting King v. Greiner, No. 02 Civ. 5810 (DLC),
2009 WL 2001439, at *4 (S.D.N.Y. July 8, 2009)); see also, e.g., Wilds v. United Parcel Sery.,
262 F. Supp. 2d 163, 169(S.D.N.Y. 2003).
As no party has submitted objections to the Report, review for clear error is appropriate. Careful review of Judge Cave’s thorough and well-reasoned Report reveals no facial error in its conclusions; the Report is therefore adopted in its entirety. CONCLUSION The Clerk of Court is respectfully directed to close this case and mail a copy of this decision to plaintiff at the address on file.
