CASE NO. 2:11-CV-245-WKW

 

ORDER

On May 11, 2016, the Magistrate Judge filed a Recommendation (Doc. # 99) 

to which Plaintiffs timely filed objections (Doc. # 100). The court has conducted an 

independent and de novo review of those portions of the Recommendation to which 

objections are made, see 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1). Plaintiffs do not argue that any 

ruling entered by this Court, including the November 11, 2013 Order granting 

Defendants’ motion to stay (Doc. # 76), constitutes a judicial imprimatur on the 

resolution of Plaintiffs’ claims by the ALJ. Accordingly, and for the reasons stated 

in the the Magistrate Judge’s Recommendation, the court concludes that the 

objections are without merit and that the Recommendation is due to be adopted.

Accordingly, it is ORDERED that:

(1) Plaintiffs’ objections (Doc. # 100) are OVERRULED;

(2) The Recommendation (Doc. # 99) is ADOPTED;

DONE this 21st day of July, 2016.
