SVEN ERIK HOLMES, District Judge.
This mailer comes before the Court pursuant to the Report and Recommendation filed by Magistrate Judge Sam A. Joyner on July 3, 2003 (Docket No. 59) addressing Defendants' Motion For Stay Of Proceedings And For Order Compelling Arbitration (Docket No. 21), filed April 3, 2003.
In their motion, Defendants request that the present action be stayed and all claims submitted to arbitration. Defendants rely on an arbitration clause contained in an easement governing the real property in dispute in this case. Plaintiffs, however, argue that the arbitration provision does not contemplate the present claims and therefore does not compel arbitration of such claims under either the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1-16, or the Oklahoma Uniform Arbitration Act, 15 Okla. Stat. §§ 801-18[15-801-18].
In accordance with 28 U.S.C. § 636 (b) and Fed.R.Civ.P. 72(b), any objections to the Magistrate Judge's Report and Recommendation must be filed within ten (10) days of the receipt of the report. The time for filing objections to the Report and Recommendation has expired, and no objections have been filed.
Based on a review of the Report and Recommendation of the Magistrate Judge, the Court hereby adopts and affirms the Report and Recommendation. Accordingly, Defendants' Motion For Stay of Proceedings And For Order Compelling Arbitration is hereby granted in part and denied in part, as specifically set forth in the Report and Recommendation.
The Court directs the parties to file a joint statement on how best to proceed in light of the Court's ruling no later than August 25, 2003.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
