v.
John P. Aulis, et al.
Case No. 14-cv-280-SM
O R D E R
No objection having been filed, I herewith approve the
Report and Recommendation of Magistrate Judge Andrea K.
Johnstone dated March 2, 2017, for the reasons set forth
therein. 	The Court notes that a copy of the Report and
Recommendation was mailed to Defaulted Defendant Rueben Ruiter
at his last known address, but was returned by the US Postal
Service with a “moved left no address“ label dated 03/10/17.
“’[O]nly those issues fairly raised by the objections to
the magistrate's report are subject to review in the district
court and those not preserved by such objection are precluded on
appeal.’” 	School Union No. 37 v. United Nat'l Ins. Co., 617
F.3d 554, 564 (1st Cir. 2010) (quoting Keating v. Secretary of
Health & Human Servs., 848 F.2d 271, 275 (1st Cir.1988)); see
also United States v. Valencia-Copete, 792 F.2d 4, 6 (1st Cir.
1986) (after proper notice, failure to file a specific objection
to magistrate's report will waive the right to appeal).

Plaintiff’s Motions for Default Judgments as to Defaulted
Defendants Collier (doc. No. 92) and Ruiter (doc. No. 93) are
