IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF OHIO EASTERN DIVISION

ROBERT E. WILLIAMS,

Plaintiff,

vs. Case No.: 2:20-cv-463 JUDGE GEORGE C. SMITH Magistrate Judge Vascura

THE OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY OFFICE OF STUDENT LIFE,

Defendant.

ORDER

On January 29, 2020, the United States Magistrate Judge issued an Order and Report and Recommendation recommending that Plaintiff’s request to proceed in forma pauperis be granted and that Plaintiff’s Complaint be dismissed for failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted. (See Report and Recommendation, Doc. 3). The parties were advised of their right to object to the Report and Recommendation. This matter is now before the Court on Plaintiff’s Objections to the Report and Recommendation. (See Doc. 4). The Court will consider the matter de novo. See

(b)(1); Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b)(3). In his objections, Plaintiff generally objects to the recommended dismissal. He asks for leniency because he is pro se, but otherwise fails to raise any specific objection to the Report and Recommendation. Plaintiff’s general objections are not sufficient to preserve any issues for review, and “[a] general objection to the entirety of the magistrate’s report has the same effects as would a failure to objection.” Howard v. Sec’y of H.H.S.,

(6th Cir. 1991). Therefore, for the reasons stated in detail in the Report and Recommendation, this Court finds that Plaintiff’s Objections are without merit and are hereby OVERRULED. The Report and Recommendation, Document 3, is hereby ADOPTED and AFFIRMED. Plaintiff’s Complaint is hereby dismissed. The Clerk shall remove Documents 3 and 4 from the Court’s pending motions list. The Clerk shall terminate this case.

IT IS SO ORDERED. /s/ George C. Smith__________________ GEORGE C. SMITH, JUDGE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
