CARROLL COUNTY CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES, MICHAEL KING, and BAILEY TIMMONS,

Defendants.

ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION AND DISMISSING CASE

Before the Court is the complaint filed by the Plaintiff, Patrice Lee, proceeding pro se. By Administrative Order, this matter was referred to the United States magistrate judge for management of all pretrial matters and for determination and/or report and recommendation. Admin. Order 2013-05. After reviewing the allegations, Magistrate Judge Jon A. York recommended dismissal. (Docket Entry (“D.E.”) 9 at PageID 26.) At the end of the Report and Recommendation, Judge York notified Plaintiff that, if she disagreed with the recommendation, she was required to file an objection or exception within 14 days. (Id.) He added that “failure to file [an objection or exception] within fourteen (14) days may constitute a waiver and/or forfeiture of objections, exceptions, and any further appeal.” (Id. (emphasis omitted)). Lee has not objected to the Magistrate Judge’s report and recommendation and the time for doing so has expired. Consequently, she has forfeited her objections to the report and recommendation. See Berkshire v. Dahl,

(6th Cir. 2019). Accordingly, upon review of the record, the report and recommendation (D.E. 9) is ADOPTED, Plaintiff’s application to proceed in forma pauperis (D.E. 3) is DENIED AS MOOT, and the action is DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE. IT IS SO ORDERED this 7th day of August 2025. s/ J. DANIEL BREEN UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
