OPINION

Plaintiff filed this lawsuit asserting claims of 

race-based discrimination and retaliation. This 

lawsuit is now before the court on the recommendation 

of the United States Magistrate Judge that defendant’s 

motion to dismiss plaintiff’s case be granted. Also 

before the court are plaintiff’s objections to the 

recommendation. After an independent and de novo 

review of the record, the court concludes that 

plaintiff’s objections should be overruled and the 

magistrate judge’s recommendation adopted. However, 

the case will remain open so that plaintiff may file a

formal motion for leave to amend the complaint. 

An appropriate judgment will be entered.

DONE, this the 2nd day of February, 2017.
