ADAMS, § § Plaintiff, § § v. § Civil Action No. 2:21-CV-00203 § INDIVIOR INC., et al., § § Defendants. § ORDER ACCEPTING MEMORANDUM AND RECOMMENDATION Plaintiff Marcus E.

Pending before the Court is the September 13, 2022 Memorandum and Recommendation (“M&R”) signed by Magistrate Judge Jason B. Libby. (Dkt. No. 39). In the M&R Magistrate Judge Libby recommends that the Court grant Indivior’s Motion to Dismiss Adams’ amended complaint. (Dkt. No. 33 at 1). The Parties were provided proper notice and the opportunity to object to the proposed findings and recommendations. See

28 U.S.C. § 636

(b)(1); Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b). No Party filed an objection. As a result, review is straightforward: plain error. Guillory v. PPG Indus., Inc.,
