1: 03 CV F 5245 REC DLB

ORDER ADOPTING FINDINGS AND

RECOMMENDATION RE DEFENDANTS’

MOTION TO DISMISS SECOND AMENDED

COMPLAINT AND REQUEST FOR

SANCTIONS 

(Documents 121, 122)

On July 21, 2005, the Magistrate Judge filed Findings and Recommendation herein which

was served on the parties and which contained notice to the parties that any objections to the

recommendation were to be filed within thirty days. On July 22 and 25, 2005, defendants filed

objections. Defendants object to the recommendation and request that the court modify it by

granting defendants an extension to September 1, 2005 to file dispositive motions. 

In accordance with the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C) and Local Rule 73-305,

this Court has conducted a de novo review of this case. The record reveals that on August 11,

2005, the Court granted defendants’ application for an extension of time to file dispositive

motions, thereby rendering defendants’ objections moot. Having carefully reviewed the entire

file, the Court finds the Findings and Recommendation to be supported by the record and by

proper analysis.

Accordingly, the Court HEREBY ORDERS: 

1. The Findings and Recommendation, filed July 21, 2005, is adopted in full;
