ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION; GRANTING SUMMARY JUDGMENT
VIRGINIA EMERSON HOPKINS, District Judge.
Now pending before the court is the Motion for Summary Judgment ("MSJ") (doc. 20), filed by the Defendants, the City of Birmingham and Christopher Hutchinson (collectively, "Defendants"). Plaintiff, Timothy Jerome Johnson ("Johnson") has opposed the MSJ. (Opposition, doc. 25). Defendants have filed a reply brief. (Response, doc. 27). On June 22, 2012, Chief Magistrate Judge Paul W. Greene entered his Report and Recommendation ("R&R") (doc. 30), recommending that the MSJ be granted and all of Johnson's claims be dismissed.1 In the R&R, Judge Greene specifically advised the parties that
Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C) and Rule 72(b)(2), FED. R. CIV. P., any party may file specific written objections to this report and recommendation within fifteen (15) days from [June 22, 2012]. Failure to file written objections to the proposed findings and recommendations contained in this report and recommendation within fifteen (15) days from the date it is filed shall bar an aggrieved party from attacking the factual findings on appeal. Written objections shall specifically identify the portions of the proposed findings and recommendation to which objection is made and the specific basis for objection. A copy of the objections must be served upon all other parties to the action.
(R&R, doc. 30, p. 12.).
No objections were filed and the time to file objections has passed.
Having carefully reviewed and considered de novo all the materials in the court file, including the report and recommendation, the Court is of the opinion that the magistrate judge's report is due to be and is hereby ADOPTED and his recommendation is ACCEPTED. The Court EXPRESSLY FINDS that there are no genuine issues of material fact and that the defendants are entitled to judgment as a matter of law. Accordingly, defendants' motion for summary judgment is due to be GRANTED and this action is due to be DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE. A Final Judgment will be entered.
DONE and ORDERED.
