MEMORANDUM ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION OF THE UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE ON PLAINTIFF'S CROSS-MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT

MICHAEL H. SCHNEIDER, District Judge.

The Plaintiff Willie Jefferson, proceeding pro se, filed this lawsuit complaining of alleged violations of his rights. This Court ordered that the case be referred to the United States Magistrate Judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §636(b)(1) and (3) and the Amended Order for the Adoption of Local Rules for the Assignment of Duties to United States Magistrate Judges.

The Defendants filed a motion for summary judgment which has since been withdrawn. Jefferson filed a response to this motion which included a cross-motion for summary judgment. After review of Jefferson's pleadings, the Magistrate Judge issued a Report recommending that Jefferson's cross-motion for summary judgment be denied and that the Defendants' motion to strike Jefferson's cross-motion be denied as moot. Neither party filed objections to the Report; accordingly, the parties are barred from de novo review by the district judge of those findings, conclusions, and recommendations and, except upon grounds of plain error, from appellate review of the unobjected—to proposed factual findings and legal conclusions accepted and adopted by the district court.
