Judge Jennifer P. Wilson
MEMORANDUM
Before the court is the report and recommendation of United States
Magistrate Judge Leo A. Latella recommending that the amended complaint be
dismissed with prejudice without leave to amend. (Doc. 12.) No party has filed
objections to the report and recommendation, resulting in the forfeiture of de novo
review by this court. Nara v. Frank, 488 F.3d 187, 194 (3d Cir. 2007) (citing
Henderson v. Carlson, 812 F.2d 874, 878–79 (3d Cir. 1987)).
Following an independent review of the report and record, and affording
“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
879), to “satisfy [the court] that there is no clear error on the face of the record,”
Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b), advisory committee notes, the court finds that Judge
Latella’s analysis is well-reasoned and fully supported by the record and applicable
law. Accordingly, the court will adopt the report and recommendation, Doc. 12,
