MEMORANDUM AND ORDER RE: REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION REGARDING CROSS-MOTIONS FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT
Magistrate Judge Katherine A. Robertson has recommended that the court allow the motions for summary judgment filed by Northeast Utility Service Co. ("Northeast") and Credit Acceptance as well as deny Plaintiff's cross-motion for summary judgment. (Dkt. No. 115.) In particular, Magistrate Judge Robertson concluded that Plaintiff failed to raise genuine issues of material fact in support of her claims under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1681 et seq., against Northeast,1 her claims under the Fair Debt Collections Practices Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1692 et seq., against Northeast and Credit Acceptance, any claim under MASS. GEN. LAWS ch. 93A against Northeast, and her claims under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, 47 U.S.C. § 227 et
seq., against Credit Acceptance. (Dkt. Nos. 115.) Accordingly, Magistrate Judge Robertson concluded that Northeast and Credit Acceptance are entitled to judgment as a matter of law as to all of Plaintiff's claims asserted against them. The Recommendation notified Plaintiff that, if she had an objection, it would have to be filed within fourteen days. No objection has been filed.2
Based upon the thorough analysis presented in the Report and Recommendation, and noting there are no objections, the court, upon de novo review, hereby ADOPTS the Report and Recommendation. (Dkt. No. 115.) Based upon this, the summary judgment motions filed by Northeast and Credit Acceptance are hereby ALLOWED, and Plaintiff's cross-motion for summary judgment is hereby DENIED.
It is So Ordered.
