Instead, the Court satisfied itself that there was no clear error on the face of the record and incorporated the Magistrate Judge's recommendation into the final order.
Remedies
The Court adopted the Magistrate Judge's Report and Recommendation and denied Plaintiff Shahid Majid's motions for a preliminary injunction
Legal Principles
When a party fails to file timely objections to a United States Magistrate Judge's Report and Recommendation, the district court need only satisfy itself that there is no clear error on the face of the record in order to accept the recommendation. Failure to object waives appellate review. The Magistrate Judge makes only a recommendation to the Court, and the recommendation has no presumptive weight. The Court is charged with making a de novo determination of those portions of the Report to which specific objection is made.
