ORDER

RICHARD MILLS, District Judge.

Pending is the Motion of Defendant Prairie State Bank and Trust for Rule 37 Sanctions.

United States Magistrate Judge Tom Schanzle-Haskins has entered a Report and Recommendation, wherein he recommends that the Defendant's motion be allowed and this matter dismissed with prejudice as a sanction for Plaintiff's failure to comply with the Court's Text Order entered on October 17, 2019 and the Scheduling Order entered November 21, 2019.

The Court notes that pro se Plaintiff Joyce Bender did not file a response to the Defendant's motion for sanctions. The Plaintiff also did not object to the Report and Recommendation and the time for filing objections has passed.

Upon reviewing the Defendant's motion and the magistrate judge's Report and Recommendation, the Court finds that, pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 37(b)(2)(A)(v), dismissal is an appropriate sanction based on the Plaintiff's repeated refusal to comply with the Court's Order, her failure to appear at the scheduling conference, her refusal to provide the required initial disclosures, her refusal to respond or otherwise participate in the litigation of this matter, her failure to respond to the motion and her failure object to the Report and Recommendation.

Ergo, the Court hereby ADOPTS and ACCEPTS United States Magistrate Judge Tom Schanzle-Haskins' Report and Recommendation [d/e 21].

The Defendant's Motion for Rule 37 Sanctions [d/e 20] is ALLOWED.

This case is DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE.

The Clerk will enter judgment and close this case.
