REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION TO GRANT REQUEST TO VOLUNTARILY DISMISS COMPLAINT
ELIZABETH A. STAFFORD, Magistrate Judge.
Defendants Jeffery Dame and Officer Reed filed a motion to dismiss pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(c), [R. 33], but Plaintiff Cary Cosgrove did not respond and the Court ordered him to show cause why his complaint should not be dismissed without prejudice. [R. 42]. Cosgrove subsequently filed a request to dismiss his case, stating, "I no longer wish to pursue civil action in Federal Court". [R. 43]. Thus, the Court RECOMMENDS that this action be DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(a)(2) and that defendants' motion to dismiss [R. 33] be deemed MOOT.
NOTICE TO PARTIES REGARDING OBJECTIONS
Either party to this action may object to and seek review of this Report and Recommendation, but must act within fourteen days of service of a copy hereof as provided for in 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1) and Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b)(2). Failure to file specific objections constitutes a waiver of any further right of appeal. Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140 (1985); Howard v. Secretary of HHS, 932 F.2d 505 (6th Cir. 1991); United States v. Walters, 638 F.2d 947 (6th Cir. 1981). Filing objections which raise some issues but fail to raise others with specificity will not preserve all objections that party might have to this Report and Recommendation. Willis v. Secretary of HHS, 931 F.2d 390, 401 (6th Cir. 1991); Smith v. Detroit Fed'n of Teachers Local 231, 829 F.2d 1370, 1373 (6th Cir. 1987). A copy of any objection must be served upon this Magistrate Judge. E.D. Mich. LR 72.1(d)(2).
Each objection must be labeled as "Objection #1," "Objection #2," etc., and must specify precisely the provision of this Report and Recommendation to which it pertains. Not later than fourteen days after service of objections, the non-objecting party must file a response to the objections, specifically addressing each issue raised in the objections in the same order and labeled as "Response to Objection #1," "Response to Objection #2," etc. The response must be concise and proportionate in length and complexity to the objections, but there is otherwise no page limitation. If the Court determines that any objections are without merit, it may rule without awaiting the response.
