Monique Davis v. Post Woods Townhomes, LLC, et al.

Summary

The United States District Court for the Southern District of Ohio adopted and affirmed a magistrate judge’s Report and Recommendation recommending dismissal of Monique Davis’s Fair Housing Act and state-law claims. The court dismissed the Complaint for failure to prosecute under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(b) after Davis failed to respond to a show-cause order or object to the Report and Recommendation.

Holdings

1. A party who fails to timely object to a magistrate judge's Report and Recommendation waives the right to de novo review by the district court.
2. The complaint was properly dismissed for failure to prosecute under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(b) because Davis repeatedly failed to meet deadlines, failed to respond to court orders, and did not respond to the Show Cause Order.

Questions Presented

1. Whether the complaint should be dismissed for failure to prosecute under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(b).
2. Whether the district court should adopt the magistrate judge's Report and Recommendation when no objections were filed.

Disposition

dismissed
