OPINION

This long-standing litigation is now before the court

on the part of the special master’s recommendation that

the defendants’ motion for summary judgment on claimant

Garcia Long’s individual-contempt claim regarding “Senior

Real Property Valuation Analyst classification” should be

granted. Long has filed no objection to this aspect of

the special master’s report and recommendation. After an

independent and de novo review of the record, the court

concludes that the special master’s recommendation should

be adopted in part and the defendants’ summary-judgment

motion granted. 

However, because it appears that Long has claims that

have not yet been adjudicated, the court does not adopt

the portion of the special master’s recommendation taxing

costs against her. The Adams Intervenors’ and the

defendants’ objections to the special master’s

recommendation are therefore premature at this time. An

appropriate judgment will be entered. 

DONE, this the 22nd day of February, 2010.
