OPINION

Plaintiff Charles W. Stewart filed this lawsuit 

asserting federal claims under the Americans with 

Disabilities Act, 42 U.S.C. § 12101, et seq., and the 

Family Medical Leave Act, 29 U.S.C. § 2601, et seq., as 

well as claims under state law. This lawsuit is now 

before the court on the recommendation of the United 

States Magistrate Judge that defendants’ motion to 

strike should be denied and defendants’ motion to 

dismiss should be granted in part and denied in part. 

Also before the court are defendant Ronnee J. 

Pedersen’s objections to the recommendation. After an 

Case 3:16-cv-00356-MHT-WC Document 40 Filed 12/14/16 Page 1 of 2
independent and de novo review of the record, the court 

concludes that Pedersen’s objections should be 

overruled and the magistrate judge’s recommendation 

adopted. *

An appropriate judgment will be entered.

DONE, this the 14th day of December, 2016.

 /s/ Myron H. Thompson 

UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE

 

* In the objection, Pedersen argues that the 

recommendation errs because Stewart failed to 

sufficiently plead facts concerning ‘the benefit’

Pedersen obtained as a consequence of her alleged 

misrepresentations to Stewart. However, Pedersen did 

not raise the insufficiency of Stewart’s complaint 

regarding this element in the motion to dismiss or in 

the reply to Stewart’s opposition to the motion to 

dismiss. Accordingly, the argument was not properly 

raised, and will not be considered at this time.
