ORDER ADOPTING MAGISTRATE JUDGE'S REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION

PAUL L. MALONEY, Chief District Judge.

The Court has reviewed the Report and Recommendation filed by United States Magistrate Judge Phillip J. Green in this action (ECF No. 24).

Even though Plaintiff has not received a copy of the Report and Recommendation, he has been properly served under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. As required by statute, the magistrate judge filed the Report and Recommendation with the Court and mailed a copy to Plaintiff at his last known address. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C) ("the magistrate judge shall file his proposed findings and recommendations under subparagraph (B) with the court and a copy shall forthwith be mailed to all parties."). Upon placing the Report and Recommendation in the mail to Plaintiff's last known address, service was complete. Fed. R. Civ. P. 5(b)(2)(C). Plaintiff has a continuing obligation to apprise the Court of his current address. See W.D. Mich. L.Civ.R. 41.1 ("Failure of a plaintiff to keep the Court apprised of his current address shall be grounds for dismissal for want of prosecution.").

After being served with a Report and Recommendation issued by a Magistrate Judge, a party has 14 days to file written objections to the proposed findings and recommendations. 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C); FED. R. CIV. P. 72(b); United States v. Sullivan, 431 F.3d 976, 984 (6th Cir. 2005). Failure to file an objection results in a waiver of the issue and the issue cannot be appealed. Id. See also Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 155 (1985) (upholding the Sixth Circuit's practice).

ACCORDINGLY, the Report and Recommendation is hereby adopted as the opinion of the Court.

THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that Plaintiffs complaint is DISMISSED for the reasons stated in the Report and Recommendation.
