GEORGE B. DANIELS, District Judge.
Pro se Plaintiff Umar Alli filed this lawsuit against the New York City Department of Correction as well as several individual defendants, alleging that he was the victim of excessive force and denied due process under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 while in custody. Defendants moved to dismiss the complaint under Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 37(d) and 41(b) on the grounds that Plaintiff has failed to prosecute this action. Plaintiff opposed the motion and simultaneously made an application for the appointment of pro bono counsel. Consistent with Magistrate Judge Dolinger's Report and Recommendation ("Report"), and given Plaintiff s continued failure to comply with the directives in the Report, Plaintiffs application is DENIED and Defendants' motion to dismiss is GRANTED.
The Court may accept, reject or modify, in whole or in part, the findings and recommendations set forth within the Report. 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1). When there are objections to the Report, the Court must make a de novo determination of those portions of the Report to which objections are made. Id.; see also Rivera v. Barnhart, 432 F.Supp.2d 271, 273 (S.D.N.Y. 2006). When no objections to a Report are made, the Court may adopt the Report if "there is no clear error on the face of the record." Adee Motor Cars, LLC v. Amato, 388 F.Supp.2d 250, 253 (S.D.N.Y. 2005) (citation omitted). Neither party filed objections to the Report.
On April 30, 2013, Defendants served discovery requests on Plaintiff and advised him that he had thirty days to respond. (Report at 3). Thereafter, Defendants followed up with Plaintiff multiple times seeking responses to their requests. (Id. at 4). On August 15, 2013, Judge Dolinger issued an order that directed Plaintiff to respond to the requests by August 30, 2013. Defendants and Judge Dolinger separately warned Plaintiff that his continued failure to respond could lead to dismissal of this action. (Id at 4-5). On September 30, 2013, Defendants moved to dismiss the complaint under Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 37(d) and 41(b) for failure to serve a response to interrogatories or document requests and failure to prosecute, respectively. Plaintiff filed an untimely opposition to the motion, and simultaneously made an application for the appointment of pro bono counsel.
The Report recommended that this Court deny Plaintiff's application for appointment of pro bono counsel without prejudice.
Plaintiff s application for the appointment of counsel is DENIED. Defendants' motion to dismiss is GRANTED. The clerk of the Court is directed to close the motions at ECF Nos. 53, 60, and 72 and this case.
