OPINION

Plaintiff filed this lawsuit asserting overtime and

retaliation claims under the Fair Labor Standards Act of

1938 (FLSA), as amended, 29 U.S.C. §§201-219, and a racediscrimination claim under the equal protection clause of

the Fourteenth Amendment as enforced through 42 U.S.C.

§ 1983. This lawsuit is now before the court on the

recommendation of the United States Magistrate Judge that

defendant’s motion for summary judgment should be

granted. Also before the court are plaintiff’s

objections to the recommendation. After an independent

and de novo review of the record, the court concludes

Case 2:06-cv-01043-MHT-TFM Document 81 Filed 04/22/08 Page 1 of 2
that plaintiff’s objections should be overruled and the

magistrate judge’s recommendation adopted.

No reasonable factfinder could find in favor of

plaintiff on her claims. Plaintiff’s conclusory

allegations cannot survive the documentory evidence in

this case; plaintiff has not presented evidence that can

explain away the documentary evidence. Indeed, in her

objections to the magistrate judge’s recommendation,

plaintiff does not take issue with the recommendation’s

factual and legal conclusions but rather complains about

how her former attorney treated her.

An appropriate judgment will be entered.

DONE, this the 22nd day of April, 2008.

 /s/ Myron H. Thompson 

UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
