[See Doc. No. 5 at 5]. See also Moore v. United States,
950 F.2d 656, 659(10th Cir. 1991). To date, Plaintiff has not filed an objection to the Report and Recommendation or requested an extension of time to do so. The Court notes that the attempt to serve Plaintiff with the Report and Recommendation at her address of record failed. [See Doc. No. 6].

U.S. Dep’t of Labor,
172 F.3d 1262, 1267(10th Cir. 1999) (“The parties are far better situated to know of any errors in their address information, thus, they bear the burden of filing notice of a change of address ... . The fact [plaintiff] 1s acting pro se does not eliminate this burden.”’). With no objection being filed, the Court ACCEPTS and ADOPTS the Report and Recommendation [Doc. No. 5] in its entirety. Accordingly, the Court DISMISSES Plaintiff's claims against the Oklahoma County Detention Center (incorrectly named as Oklahoma County Jail) and the Oklahoma City Police Department (incorrectly named as Oklahoma Police Department) with prejudice, and DISMISSES Plaintiff's claims against Captain/Lieutenant “Carter” and “All Officers” of the Oklahoma City Police Department without prejudice.
