ON APPEAL FROM THE
UNITED STATES DISTRICT
COURT FOR THE EASTERN
DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN
M E M O R A N D U M
O P I N I O N
Before: NORRIS, BATCHELDER, AND GIBBONS, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM. Defendant Jenkins Construction, Inc. appeals from the order of the district
court denying the corporation’s motion to set aside the entry of a default and default judgment
against it.
Having had the benefit of oral argument and having carefully considered the record on
appeal, the briefs of the parties, and the applicable law, we are not persuaded that the district court
erred in adopting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and denying defendant’s motion to
set aside default and default judgment.

No. 07-1489
Dinkins v. Hunt Construction Group
- 2 -
Because the reasoning which supports the district court’s order has been articulated by the
magistrate judge and the district court, the issuance of a detailed written opinion by this court would
serve no useful purpose. Accordingly, the order of the district court is affirmed upon the reasoning
employed by the magistrate judge in his report and recommendation dated October 27, 2006, and by
the district court in its order dated March 15, 2007.
