Memorandum Opinion

The case comes before the court on the motion of the defendants to Dismiss, or, in the

alternative, for Summary Judgment. (Doc. 11.) Also before the court is the plaintiff’s motion to

dismiss. (Doc. 17.) On May, 22, 2010, the Magistrate stated the following:

1. It is RECOMMENDED that the plaintiff’s motion to dismiss all claims against

the individual defendants without prejudice, and, as to the claims against the

United States, to strike the jury demand and to dismiss claims for punitive

damages against the United States be GRANTED. It RECOMMENDED that all

claims against the individual defendants be DISMISSED, without prejudice. It is

further RECOMMENDED that all claims against the United States for punitive

damages be DISMISSED, with prejudice, and that, as to the United States, the

jury demand be STRICKEN.

2. It is RECOMMENDED that, as against the United States, all claims other than

those under the FTCA be dismissed for failure to state a claim upon which relief

may be granted. 

. . . .

4. It is RECOMMENDED that the defendants’ motion to dismiss the individual

defendants with prejudice be granted only as to the claims made against them

under the FTCA. The motion should be denied to the extent it otherwise seeks

dismissal of the individual defendants with prejudice. 

(Doc. 26, pp. 8-9.) The time for objections to the recommendations has expired and no party

has objected.
