OPINION

Plaintiff filed this lawsuit asserting that the

defendants refused to renew of her teaching certification

because of her race and gender and in retaliation, all in

violation of various federal laws. This lawsuit is now

before the court on the recommendation of the United

States Magistrate Judge that three of the defendants’

motion for summary judgment should be granted; that the

fourth defendant should be dismissed; and that plaintiff’s

motion for default judgment should be denied. Also before

the court are plaintiff’s objections to the

Case 2:12-cv-00991-MHT-CSC Document 22 Filed 08/05/13 Page 1 of 2
recommendation. After an independent and de novo review

of the record, the court concludes that plaintiff’s

objections should be overruled and the magistrate judge’s

recommendation adopted.

An appropriate judgment will be entered.

DONE, this the 5th day of August, 2013.
