PLAINTIFF’S APPLICATION FOR DEFAULT

(Document 34)

On March 21, 2007, the Magistrate Judge issued Findings and Recommendation

recommending that Plaintiff’s application for default judgment be GRANTED. The Findings

and Recommendation were served on all parties and contained notice that any objections were to

be filed within thirty (30) days of the date of service of the order. Over thirty (30) days have

passed and no party has filed objections.

In accordance with the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636 (b)(1)(C), this Court has conducted

a de novo review of the case. Having carefully reviewed the entire file, the Court finds that the

Findings and Recommendation is supported by the record and proper analysis. 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. The Findings and Recommendation issued March 21, 2007, are ADOPTED IN
