Concepcion et al v. Office of the Commisioner of Baseball et al Doc. 84 Case 3:22-cv-01017-MAJ-BJM Document 84 Filed 06/21/23 Page 1 of 2 IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF PUERTO RICO DANIEL CONCEPCION, et al., Plaintiffs, Civil No. 22-1017 (MAJ/BJM) v. OFFICE OF THE COMMISSIONER OF BASEBALL, et al., Defendants. OPINION AND ORDER Before the Court is a Report and Recommendation ("R & R") issued by Magistrate Judge Bruce J. McGiverin, (ECF No. 83) recommending the Court grant Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss. (ECF No. 51). The R & R was issued on May 31, 2023, and objections were due by June 14, 2023. No objections have been filed. After reviewing the R & R, and all the pleadings on the record, the Court finds the R & R well-reasoned, grounded in fact and law, and free of “plain error.” See M. v. Falmouth School Department, 847 F.3d 19, 25 (1st Cir. 2017) (“Absent objection ... a district court has a right to assume that the affected party agrees to the magistrate's recommendation.”) (cleaned up); Nogueras-Cartagena v. United States, 172 F.Supp.2d 296, 305 (D.P.R. 2001) (“Court reviews [unopposed] Magistrate's Report and Recommendation to ascertain whether or not the Magistrate's recommendation was clearly erroneous.”). The Court, therefore, ACCEPTS and ADOPTS the R & R in full.
