ORDER

On August 12, 2015, the Magistrate Judge filed a Recommendation (Doc. 

# 29) to which Plaintiff filed an objection (Doc. # 35). The court has conducted an 

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

which objection is made, see 28 U.S.C. § 636(b), and finds that Plaintiff makes 

essentially the same arguments the Magistrate Judge considered and rejected. 

Accordingly, it is ORDERED as follows:

(1) Plaintiff’s objection (Doc. # 35) is OVERRULED;

(2) The Recommendation (Doc. # 29) is ADOPTED;

(4) Plaintiff’s motion for a preliminary injunction (Doc. # 25) is
