`
`Case No. 1:20-cv-01111
`
`AMENDED REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
`
`This matter has been referred to the undersigned by the Honorable Robert J. Jonker for
`
`decision on all nondispositive motions and to conduct all necessary conferences pursuant to 28
`
`U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(A), and for report and recommendation on all dispositive matters under 28
`
`U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B)
`
`Pursuant to an order entered on January 5, 2021 (ECF No. 86), Plaintiff’s counsel was
`
`permitted to withdraw and Plaintiffs were granted 28 days to retain new counsel. The order
`
`provided that because Plaintiff Newair Manufacturing, LLC is a limited liability company, it could
`
`only proceed in this court if represented by a licensed attorney. The order further warned that the
`
`failure of an attorney to file an appearance on behalf of Newair within the 28-day period may result
`
`in a dismissal.
`
`Because the 28-day period has expired and no attorney has appeared on behalf of Newair,
`
`I recommend pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B) that the Court dismiss Plaintiff Newair
`
`Manufacturing, LLC from this case for noncompliance with the January 5, 2021 Order.

`
`OBJECTIONS to this Report and Recommendation must be filed with the Clerk of Court
`within 14 days of the date of service of this notice. 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C). Failure to file
`objections within the specified time waives the right to appeal the District Court’s order. See
`Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140 (1985); United States v. Walters, 638 F.2d 947 (6th Cir. 1981).
