SANDRA J. FEUERSTEIN, District Judge.
Before the Court is a Report and Recommendation ("the Report") of the Honorable Anne Y. Shields, United States Magistrate, dated August 22, 2019 (see ECF No. 38), recommending that Defendant's motion to dismiss pursuant to Rule 12(b)(6) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (hereafter, the "Dismissal Motion"; see ECF No. 26) be granted, and its motion to strike the class allegations in Plaintiffs' Amended Complaint (hereafter, the "Strike Motion"; see ECF No. 32) be dismissed as moot. The Report further advised the parties, inter alia, (1) that A[a]ny written objections to th[e] Report . . . must be filed with the Clerk of the Court within fourteen (14) days of filing of this [R]eport," and (2) that a A[f]ailure to file objections within fourteen (14) days will preclude further review of this [R]eport . . . either by the District Court or Court of Appeals." (Report at 15) (citing Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 145 (1985); Caidor v. Onondaga County., 517 F.3d 601, 604 (2d Cir. 2008)). Although a copy of the Report was served upon counsel for all parties via the Court's Electronic Case Filing system on the date it was issued, i.e., August 22, 2019 (see Notice of Electronic Filing associated with ECF No. 38 (i.e., the Report)), no objections have been filed, nor has any party sought an extension to do so. (See Case Docket, in toto.) For the reasons set forth below, Magistrate Judge Shileds' Report is adopted in its entirety.
Any party may serve and file written objections to a report and recommendation of a magistrate judge within fourteen (14) days after being served with a copy thereof. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1); Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b)(2). Any portion of such a report and recommendation to which a timely objection has been made is reviewed de novo. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1); Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b)(3). However, the Court is not required to review the factual findings or legal conclusions of the magistrate judge as to which no proper objections are interposed. See Thomas, 474 U.S. at 150. Indeed, "[w]here parties receive clear notice of the consequences, failure to timely object to a magistrate's report and recommendation operates as a waiver of further judicial review of the magistrate's decision." Smith v. Campbell, 782 F.3d 93, 102 (2d Cir. 2015) (quoting Mario v. P & C Food Markets, Inc., 313 F.3d 758, 766 (2d Cir. 2002)).
Nonetheless, the waiver rule is "nonjurisdictional" and, thus, the Court may excuse a violation thereof "in the interests of justice." King v. City of N.Y., Dep't of Corr., 419 F. App'x 25, 27 (2d Cir. 2011) (summary order) (quoting Roldan v. Racette, 984 F.2d 85, 89 (2d Cir. 1993)); see also DeLeon v. Strack, 234 F.3d 84, 86 (2d Cir. 2000). "Such discretion is exercised based on, among other factors, whether the defaulted argument has substantial merit or, put otherwise, whether the magistrate judge committed plain error in ruling against the defaulting party." Spence v. Superintendent, Great Meadow Corr. Facility, 219 F.3d 162, 174 (2d Cir. 2000); accord King, 419 F. App'x at 27.
To accept the magistrate judge's report and recommendation absent a timely objection, the court need only be satisfied that there is no clear error on the face of the record. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b); Baptichon v. Nevada State Bank, 304 F.Supp.2d 451, 453 (E.D.N.Y. 2004), aff'd, 125 F. App'x 374 (2d Cir. 2005). 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. See 28 U.S.C.§ 636(b)(1); Fed. R. Civ. P.72(b).
No party has filed objections to the Report within the time prescribed in 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C), nor has any party sought an extension of the objection deadline. As the parties were provided with adequate notice of the Report and an express warning of the consequences of a failing to timely file objections thereto, their failure to interpose timely objections to the Report operates as a waiver of further judicial review. See Caidor, 517 F.3d at 602-03; Mario, 313 F.3d at 766. Thus, this Court is not obligated to conduct a de novo review of the findings and conclusions in the Report, but rather "need only satisfy itself that there is no clear error on the face of the record to accept a magistrate judge's report and recommendation." Safety-Kleen Sys., Inc. v. Silogram Lubricants Corp., No. 12-cv-4849, 2013 WL 6795963, at *1 (E.D.N.Y. Dec. 23, 2013). After a careful review of the Report, the Court finds no plain error in either the reasoning or the conclusions reached therein, and accordingly, adopts it in its entirety.
Accordingly, having adopted the Report in its entirety, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED:
SO ORDERED.
