Magistrate Judge Martin C. Carlson recommending that Defendants’ motion to

prosecute. (Doc. 74.) No party has filed objections to the report and
recommendation, resulting in the forfeiture of de novo review by this court. Nara

“reasoned consideration” to the uncontested portions of the report, EEOC v. City of
Long Branch, 866 F.3d 93, 100 (3d Cir. 2017) (quoting Henderson, 812 F.2d at
