On April 9, 2020, the magistrate judge filed findings and recommendations herein which

and recommendations were to be filed within twenty-one days. Plaintiff has filed objections to 

the findings and recommendations.

In accordance with the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C) and Local Rule 304, this 

court has conducted a de novo review of this case. Having carefully reviewed the entire file, the 

court finds the findings and recommendations to be supported by the record and by proper 

analysis.
