ORDER

Pending before the court is Plaintiff’s Motion for Leave to File an Amended

Complaint (doc. # 21). In the October 4, 2007 Report and Recommendation (“R&R”) (doc.

#25), Magistrate Judge Mark E. Aspey recommends that Plaintiff’s motion to amend his

complaint be denied. The Magistrate Judge advised the parties that they had ten days to file

objections to the R&R. (R&R at 6 (citing 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)). Plaintiff has filed objections

(doc. # 26).

The court has considered the objections and reviewed the Report and

Recommendation de novo. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b); 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1) (stating that the

court must make a de novo determination of those portions of the Report and

Recommendation to which specific objections are made). The court agrees with the

Magistrate Judge's determinations, accepts the recommended decision within the meaning

of Rule 72(b), Fed. R. Civ. P., and overrules Plaintiff's objections. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)

(stating that the district court “may accept, reject, or modify, in whole or in part, the findings

or recommendations made by the magistrate”).
