SANDRA J. FEUERSTEIN, District Judge.
Before the Court are presumed objections by pro se plaintiffs Feige Zaretsky, a/k/a Feige Berlin, and Aaron Berlin (collectively, plaintiffs) to a Report and Recommendation of United States Magistrate Judge E. Thomas Boyle dated October 13, 2011 ("the Report"), recommending: (1) that plaintiffs' motion for an extension of time to comply with a court order, (Doc. No. 77), be denied; (2) that the motions of defendants Citibank, N.A. ("Citibank"), as successor in interest to defendant European American Bank, and JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. ("JP Morgan"), seeking dismissal of plaintiffs' causes of action pursuant to the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act ("RICO"), 18 U.S.C. § 1961, et seq., (Doc. Nos. 84 and 87, respectively), be granted; (3) that plaintiffs' RICO causes of action be dismissed with prejudice pursuant to Rules 16(f) and 41(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure; and (4) that the Court decline to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over plaintiffs' remaining state court claims pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1367(c)(3) and dismiss the state law claims without prejudice. For the reasons stated herein, the Report of Magistrate Judge Boyle is accepted in its entirety.
Rule 72 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure permits magistrate judges to conduct proceedings on dispositive pretrial matters without the consent of the parties. Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b). Any portion of a report and recommendation on dispositive matters, to which a timely objection has been made, is reviewed de novo. 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1); Fed.R.Civ.P. 72(b). The court, however, is not required to review the factual findings or legal conclusions of the magistrate judge as to which no proper objections are interposed.
Whether or not proper objections have been filed, the district judge may, after review, accept, reject, or modify any of the magistrate judge's findings or recommendations. 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1); Fed.R.Civ.P. 72(b).
Initially, any objections to the Report were required to be filed on or before October 27, 2011.
Even construing plaintiffs' letter to constitute an objection to the Report, absent a specific challenge to any of Magistrate Judge Boyle's findings or conclusions therein, the Report is reviewed only for clear error. Since there is no clear error on the face of the Report, plaintiffs' objections are overruled and the Report is accepted in its entirety.
There being no clear error on the face of the Report, the Report is accepted in its entirety. For the reasons set forth in the Report, plaintiffs' motion for an extension of time to comply with a court ordered deadline for the filing of a completed RICO statement is denied; Citibank's and JP Morgan's motions to dismiss plaintiffs' RICO causes of action are granted; plaintiffs' RICO causes of action are dismissed in their entirety with prejudice pursuant to Rules 16(f) and 41(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure; and plaintiffs' remaining state law claims are dismissed without prejudice pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1367(c)(3). The Clerk of the Court is directed to enter judgment in favor of all defendants on plaintiffs' RICO claims, to close this case and, pursuant to Rule 77(d)(1) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, to serve notice of entry of this order upon all parties in accordance with Rule 5(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, including mailing a copy of this order to plaintiffs at their last known address pursuant to Rule 5(b)(2)(C).
SO ORDERED.
