UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT MIDDLE DISTRICT OF TENNESSEE NASHVILLE DIVISION SHAKUR AL-AMIN, ) Plaintiff, Vv. NO. 3:20-cev-00413 STATE OF TENNESSEE, et al., Defendant.

ORDER Before the Court is a Report and Recommendation (“R&R”) (Doc. No. 79) recommending the Court dismiss this case without prejudice based on Plaintiff Shakur Al-Amin’s failure to prosecute his claim and failure to keep the Court informed of a current address. No timely objections have been filed. The absence of objections “releases the Court from its duty to independently review the matter.” Lawhorn v. Buy Buy Baby, Inc., No. 3:20-CV-00201,

, at *1 (M.D. Tenn. Mar. 19, 2021); see also Thomas v. Arn,

(1985) (“It does not appear that Congress intended to require district court review of a magistrate’s factual or legal conclusions, under a de novo or any other standard, when neither party objects to those findings.”). Nevertheless, the Court thoroughly reviewed the R&R and agrees with its recommended disposition. The R&R (Doc. No. 79) is APPROVED AND ADOPTED and this case is DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE. IT IS SO ORDERED. Wah. Eusbe lla. Cransieltp CHIEF UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
