Bryce Thompson v. Bank of America, N.A., et al.

Summary

The United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan accepted and adopted the magistrate judge’s report and recommendation concerning the defendants’ motion to dismiss. Because the plaintiff and the credit reporting agency defendants intended to file stipulations of dismissal, and no objections were filed, the court denied the motion to dismiss as moot.

Holdings

1. The credit reporting agency defendants' motion to dismiss was moot because the parties intended to stipulate to dismissal of all three moving defendants.
2. The district court accepted and adopted the magistrate judge's report and recommendation because no party objected within the prescribed fourteen-day period and the court independently agreed with the recommendation.

Questions Presented

1. Whether the credit reporting agency defendants' motion to dismiss should be denied as moot in light of the parties' intended stipulations of dismissal.
2. Whether the district court should accept and adopt the magistrate judge's report and recommendation when no objections were filed.
