MEMORANDUM OF OPINION AND ORDER

The magistrate judge filed a report on February 13, 2012 (doc. 16), recommending that the

court treat the defendants' special report (doc. 11) as a motion for summary judgment and, as such,

DENY the motion. Although the magistrate judge advised the parties of their right to file specific

written objections within fifteen days, no parties filed any objections.

Having carefullyreviewed and considered de novo all the materials in the court file, including

the report and recommendation, the court finds that the magistrate judge's report is due to be

ADOPTED and the court ACCEPTS his recommendation. Accordingly, the court DENIES the

defendants’ motion for summary judgment. The court refers this matter to the magistrate judge for

further proceedings.

DONE & ORDERED this 9 day of March 2012. th
