MEMORANDUM OPINION

The court has for consideration the Report and Recommendation of Magistrate

Judge T. Michael Putnam, filed on August 11, 2005, wherein he recommends that the

motion for summary judgment filed by the defendant (doc. no. # 8) be granted and

this action dismissed on res judicata grounds. The plaintiff has filed objections to the

report and recommendation.

Having now reviewed and considered de novo the recommendation of the

Magistrate Judge, the objections filed by plaintiff on August 25, 2005, and all other

materials in the court file, the court ADOPTS the report of the magistrate judge and

ACCEPTS the recommendation. Accordingly, there being no genuine issues of

material fact and the defendant being entitled to judgment as a matter of law,

defendant’s motion for summary judgment is due to be GRANTED and this action
