IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF UTAH

EMANUEL JEFFERIES,

Plaintiff, ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION v.

BARBAROSA FOODS LTD and WENDY’S INTERNATIONAL INC., Case No. 1:24-cv-00177-JNP-CMR

Defendants. Judge Jill N. Parrish

Magistrate Judge Cecilia M. Romero issued a Report and Recommendation that the court dismiss plaintiff Emanuel Jefferies’s action for failure to prosecute. Judge Romero notified Jefferies that a failure to file a timely objection to the recommendation could waive any objections to it. No objection was filed within the allotted time. Because no party objected to the Report and Recommendation, any argument that it was in error has been waived. See United States v. One Parcel of Real Prop.,

(10th Cir. 1996). The court will decline to apply the waiver rule only if “the interests of justice so dictate.” Moore v. United States,

(10th Cir. 1991). In determining whether the interests of justice require an exception to the waiver rule, the Tenth Circuit has “considered factors such as ‘a pro se litigant’s effort to comply, the force and plausibility of the explanation for his failure to comply, and the importance of the issues raised.’” Duffield v. Jackson,

(10th Cir. 2008). In this case, there is no indication that the interests of justice require it to deviate from the waiver rule. Thus, the court finds that all objections are waived and ADOPTS IN FULL the Report and Recommendation. The court ORDERS as follows: 1. The Report and Recommendation, ECF No. 11, 1s ADOPTED IN FULL. 2. The court DISMISSES this action WITHOUT PREJUDICE.
