Judge William J. Martínez ORDER ADOPTING AUGUST 27, 2015 RECOMMENDATION OF MAGISTRATE JUDGE, DISMISSING ALL PLAINTIFFS, DENYING DEFENDANT WELLS FARGO'S MOTION TO DISMISS AS MOOT, AND TERMINATING CASE
This matter is before the Court on the August 27, 2015 Recommendation of United States Magistrate Judge Michael J. Watanabe (the "Recommendation") (ECF No. 69) that: (1) Plaintiffs Alfred McZeal, Nhut Huy Le, Chai Misty Le, Lofton Ryan Burris, and Matthew Haynie be dismissed from this case pursuant to Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 16(f) (sanctions for failure to appear at a hearing and failure to follow court orders) and 41(b) (involuntary dismissal for failure to prosecute); and (2) that Defendants RBS Financial, L. J. Angelle, Altisource, Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, Douglas A. Tolen, Kendra Wiley, Mackie Wolf Zlentz & Mann, P.C., Ocwen Loan Servicing, LLC, HREAL Company, LLC, Schiller & Adam, P.A., Midsouth Bank Shares, Inc., Midsouth Bank, NA, US Bank, Mccarthy & Holthus, LLP, Mortgage Electronic Registration System, and Quality Loan Services be dismissed for lack of service under Rule 4(m) and lack of prosecution under Rule 41(b). The Recommendation is incorporated herein by reference. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B); Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b).
The Recommendation advised the parties that specific written objections were due within fourteen days after being served with a copy of the Recommendation. (ECF No. 69 at 5-6.) Despite this advisement, no objections to the Magistrate Judge's Recommendation have to date been received.
The Court concludes that the Magistrate Judge's analysis was thorough and sound, and that there is no clear error on the face of the record. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b) advisory committee's note ("When no timely objection is filed, the court need only satisfy itself that there is no clear error on the face of the record in order to accept the recommendation."); see also Summers v. Utah, 927 F.2d 1165, 1167 (10th Cir. 1991) ("In the absence of timely objection, the district court may review a magistrate's report under any standard it deems appropriate.").
Combined with Plaintiffs Mark S. Miller's and Jamileh Miller's notice of voluntary dismissal (ECF No. 63), the effect of the Recommendation is to dismiss all plaintiffs, and therefore END this lawsuit.
In accordance with the foregoing, the Court ORDERS as follows: 1. The Magistrate Judge's Recommendation (ECF No. 69) is ADOPTED in its entirety; 2. Plaintiffs Mark S. Miller's and Jamileh Miller's notice of voluntary dismissal (ECF No. 63) is ACCEPTED; 3. Defendant Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.'s motion to dismiss (ECF No. 13) is DENIED AS MOOT; and 4. The Clerk shall enter final judgment against all Plaintiffs save for Mark S. Miller and Jamileh Miller in accordance with this Order, and shall terminate this case. The parties shall bear their own costs.
Dated this 15 day of September, 2015.
BY THE COURT:
