any remaining claims be dismissed. (Doc. 17.) The magistrate judge advised Plaintiff that the 

“failure to file objections within the specified time may result in waiver of his rights on appeal.”

According to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C), this Court conducted a de novo review of this 

case. Having carefully reviewed the matter, the Court concludes the Findings and
