MEMORANDUM OPINION

The Magistrate Judge filed a report on December 19, 2019, recommending 

the defendants’ special reports be treated as motions for summary judgment and 

further recommending that the motion be granted. (Doc. 79). The Magistrate Judge 

further recommended Plaintiff’s cross-motion for summary judgment be denied. 

(Id.). Although the parties were advised of their right to file specific written 

objections within fourteen days, no objections have been received by the court.

Having carefully reviewed and considered de novo all the materials in the 

court file, including the report and recommendation, the Magistrate Judge’s report 

is hereby ADOPTED and the recommendation is ACCEPTED. Accordingly, the 

court ORDERS that the defendants’ motions for summary judgment are 

GRANTED, and Plaintiff’s cross-motion for summary judgment is due to be 

DENIED.
